Default The user name or password is incorrect error


I recently decided to password protect my computer so that upon startup
I have to type in a password. But now when I start up the computer I get
a "the user name or password is incorrect" error message (at this point
I haven't done anything except push the power button to turn the
computer on). So, I press the "OK" button, and a user named Amy (with a
different picture then mine) appears and a password is requested. I
don't know the password for this account, and don't ever remember
setting it up, so I click "switch user". Then it shows me two accounts,
both named Amy with different pictures. The second Amy listed is the one
I recognize with my picture, so I have been logging in that one with the
password I set. But it seems silly to have to go through that many steps
to log on. So after I logged in, I looked on user accounts so that I
could delete the duplicate account, but the other Amy account is not
there. Only mine and the option to turn on a guest. I would like to
remove that duplicate so that the startup goes straight to MY Amy.
Anyone have any ideas?
