I turn on my laptop and it tells me to press control, alt, delete to secure my computer

original title: logging on to Windows

So for some reason that I turn on my laptop and it says to push control, alt, delete to protect my computer. He has never done this before. So I do and then he asks a user name and password. I never created either on my laptop. It won't let me on anything whatsoever and I was wondering if there is a way that you can change to actually get on everything? I bought this computer used and thought that I could substitute it some how and then get on and everything change. Help!

Two points:

1. to answer your question, go to start | Run and type 'control '.
userpasswords2"select the account that you want to connect automatically.
Then uncheck "users must enter a user name and password
This computer '.

Or do the same thing with TweakUI.

2. If I have acquired a used computer, regardless of who was previously owner
the first thing I would do with it would be to reinstall the operating
system itself. You don't know how the computer has been maintained,
which has been improperly installed, what's missing, what virus and
There may be spyware, etc. I would not live with someone of another errors and problems, possibility of kiddy p0rn, etc, and I would not recommend anyone else to do.
If you reinstall Windows properly, you are playing with fire.
