The guy who built my computer configured XP pro so that it automatically logs me into the default administrator account when I boot up. It does not ask for a password.

I can't seem to find the option to change this. I want to password protect my computer's admin account and make a user account for my gf since she uses the computer sometimes when I'm not home.

Have you tried going under Control Panel --> Users, and seeing if that changes anything?

That's exactly where you need to be. :)
