If you're not a member of a domain, then you can simply perform the following steps.

In Control Panel, double-click Users and Passwords. Click to clear the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer check box. Click the Advanced tab. Click to clear the Require users to press Ctrl-Alt-Del before logging on check box.

If you're a member of a domain, then you need to edit the registry. You can follow the instructions from Microsoft.

Windows XP - solution 1:

Select Run from the Start Menu, type control userpasswords2, and click Ok.
Turn off the Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer option, and click Ok.

Windows XP - solution 2:

If you have one user account and no password configured, Windows XP will log you in automatically. Otherwise, you'll have to do the following:

Obtain and install the Windows XP version of TweakUI.
Open TweakUI (it's in Start -> Programs -> Powertoys for Windows XP).
Expand the Logon branch, and click Autologon.
Turn on the Log on automatically at system startup option, type your username and password, and click Ok.

important note, make sure you check the box that say's "user's password's never expire" otherwise, even if you have autologon engage, after 90 day's you get the box that says you have to choose a new password (even if you don't have a password).

You might want to get this free utility, just in case. It's happen to me where I couldn't logon.
