This solution has worked for some people:
1. Go to Start, Run and type in "control userpasswords2".
2. Put a check in the box that says users must enter a username and
password to use this computer.
3. Click reset password to set the administrator password. Leave the
fields blank. Click apply and okay.
4. Go to users accounts in control panel, click on change the way users
log on \ off.
5. Put a check in the welcome screen box and then apply options.
6. Log off or reboot and you should come directly to your own profile.
