I am running Windows 7 home Premium. In an attempt to get administrative privileges, I created a new account thinking  I could log on using it . Previously I had had an automatic log on of my user account, no pw or user name. After this CHANGE and trying for an hour to figure it out I DECIDED to go back to my old user log in.
I followed the steps here

but when I log on now I get a message telling me I have the wrong pw and then giving me a user account with the pw box . I can click though without entering a password and it will take me to my old user account. How can I fix this so I bypass this loging and incorrect pw message?

ThanksDid you already read this? 
How can I eliminate password in Windows 7
They say you can not really eliminate it. Almost, but you still need it.
yes I have tried this several time. The box is not checked that requires a password when I get there, so there is nothing to uncheck. The message I get when I boot up windows says I have the wrong password so somewhere it must THINK It needs a pw, very confusingYes. You are not the first not grip about the  Windows 7 password policy. Here is one of the answers from Microsoft:

Please try to go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\User Accounts, click Manager User Accounts; in the users list, select the particular user which you want to remove password, and try to reset the password with a BLANK password to check if it can work.
