Every time I log into windows, a password screen comes up. Of course, since there isn't a password programed in, the only option I have is to hit cancel. Then Windows starts. How can I make it possible so I never have to have that window come open in the first place?

Go into the Control Panel, open the Network applet - for Primary Network Login choose 
Windows Logon. Password Properties - Check 'all users of this PC use the same preferences 
and desktop settings.' That's normally all that's necessary.

Additionally, while in the Network applet, remove unnecessary network devices. There 
are several installed by default, that are not needed in every case. If you're not 
networked, remove Client for MS Networks, NetBEUI, and IPX/SPX Compatible. 

If you have an Ethernet card (NIC) installed but aren't using it, go into Device 
Manager click the plus + sign. Highlight the device - choose Properties - Disable 
it. 

Remove Passwords:
Go to C:\Windows 
Delete all .pwl files 

Go to Run > Sysedit
Open system.ini 
Delete all lines under 
[Password Lists] 
Close and Save changes
