Cris,
I don't have the time right now to research an answer, but I suspect a
bit of corruption in your password storage file. Go back into Control Panel
and checking out the User Accounts applet. Select each profile in turn and
reset their passwords. When asked for the old and new, leave all of those
fields blank. Hopefully, doing this for all of them will remove this
annoyance. Assuming you have a separate Administrator account with an
actual password, reset it to the same password it's using now.
Peace,
G
