Per the KB, that may work for Vista; but in Win 7 "control userpasswords2" doesn't find anything. Nor could I find a place in Win 7 to specify that a password is required to log in, as shown for Vista in that KB article.
In Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts you can change your password or remove it, if you have one. What I did is create one for myself. Since then, I've had the problem which this thread describes.
Edit: I also changed the user name from Administrator to something else (a security measure that I brought over from my WinXP usage).
