Duplicate account showing

I have Vista business.

On my logon screen where I can choose the user, I have two of the same
account (same name, same desktop after logging in, same password,
everything). This started after I changed my password in account
management.

In Computer Management | Local Users and Groups | Users this account is only
shown once. How do I stop the logon screen from displaying 2 when there is
only one?

Not exactly match neverless maybe this is the one option with
automatically logon in Vista
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/66...matically.html

from this link:

Thank you for your replies.

I did the procedure at
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/66...matically.html then used
Ctrl-Alt-Del to change the password to match.

It's now back to automatically logging me on and when I log off, it only
displays the one account, not a duplicate.
