Xp log on problem!

I have never had a password set on this machine. When I finally did
create one on an admistrator account I got the following message when
booting up. ---"The system could not log you on. Make sure your username
and domain are correct. Then type your password again."--

I close this window and proceed to click on my account and input the
password. Logs in no problem. What does this 1st little error window mean?
(I understand the username --but what is the domain stuff?

Thankyou for any and all help.

Sure would like some help on this please.

I do need to password protect this machine.

Thankyou again for any help!
