    Computer boots to another account


    Hi all,this just started yesterday.When I boot up or wake from sleep it shows my account and then an
    administrators account.Never did that before.I have a password for my account but it's set up not to ask.
    If I click on the other account it goes right to the desktop which I have never seen before.If I click on my account it asks for a password.I am really confused here.Help.

    If it is the real Administrators account. It should not have gotten enabled. I would suggest doing a malware scan to be safe. In run, enter the following control userpasswords2 The Hiren's Boot Disk has the scanning tools on it. This will walk you through checking to make sure that no malware enabled the administrator account. Read Run Me First Malware Removal Guide (incl.

    Make a backup of the drive in case something happens and causes worse issues.
