Getting rid of starting password in Vista

When I got my current laptop last year, I made the mistake of putting a starting pasaword in. now every time its boots but i have to login with the password (I guess this would be useful if you had multiple people logging in and they needed different levels of access).

This is starting to annoy me now and I was wondering how to get rid of it so the computer boots up normally.

Thanks

When you select change a password, do I just enter my old one and leave the line for a new one blank?

Uncheck: Users must enter a name and a password to use this computer.

Hit Okay.

You'll be given a pop-up box with the username you want to login with and an entry for passwords. Leave the password fields blank.
