Re: Cant logon after windows update

Place your cursor in the password box and while it
is blinking, press your Tab key to tab through the box,
then press the Enter key.

You can use the following steps to enable automatic logon:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type: control userpasswords2 , and then click OK.
3. In the dialog box that appears, clear the "Users must enter a user name
and password to use this computer" check box, and then click OK.
