Getting "the username or password is incorrect try again" with initial login

On Windows 8.1 each time it boots up I get "the username or password is incorrect try again"

I can then type the correct password and login.

How can I avoid this initial error message coming up?

- Single administrator account

- No other accounts

- No pin code etc switched on

I would prefer to have no password prompt at all and just enter directly to desktop. But I also can't figure out that option.

This WILL fix the password problem:

After recent Microsoft Windows updates, I had to keep entering my password to log into Windows...solution:

start, run, control userpasswords2
Check Box --> User must enter a name and password to use this computer
click APPLY...You should see the Automatically sign-in windows box...if not...uncheck the box and click apply..
Enter your username and password...click OK.
If you don't want to enter your password each time, uncheck --> User must enter a name and password
