Windows 7 account login error

Question

Hello I have an issue with my windows 7 PC from ASUS

You see every time I put a password on my account at the login screen the next time I boot up it shows as invalid and that there is no such account. Almost as if it does not exist but i know that it exist. then i put in my account name and username and password and am able to get through but the next time i boot up the the same thing happens again.

I have tried doing two things with this issue 1) Make a new account deleting the old account and moving the files and placing a password only to have it fail in my face.

2) Doing a windows Restore to recover up to a point where I knew that the account was still working.

Up until now i have kept my account without a password and have been able to get in fine but now it leaves my computer unprotected from anyone logging into my account.

Is there a way to restore or reset the Windows 7 account manager or something like that or to start fresh. I don't know anything about this issue and would like to have someone point me in the right direction.

Thank you and hope for some really great answers !

This is because you are currently using auto login function, but there is no valid account found, to disable it, Run Command Prompt as administrator, enter control userpasswords2, check the User must enter...., click OK

To user auto login with correct login credential, check the box again and click ok, it will prompt you for the login username and password
