Why does my computer need a password to log on? Was not needed before.

My monitor would not come on after hitting the space bar. The PC was in sleep mode, so when I move the mouse or hit any key the monitor and PC will come out of sleep. But not this time. I rebooted my PC and a new (different, never seen it before) opening
page appeared. To the left was instruction to click on my user name. To the right was HP_ Administrator. I clicked on that and a password window opened. I have never set up a password so I just hit enter. I was prompted for a password again. Message was &quotForgot
your password?&quot, type your password again. I typed admin, but that didn't work. I tried several passwords I use for web access and forums, etc. but got no where at all. Several reboots, still the same new opening page and request for a password. Prior to
this, my PC would just open to my desk top, now I get this new blue sheet needing a password.
