Navigate to that Key and delete its content, OR rename that key to LogonUI.bak
That removed user will not show up in the last logged in list anymore;
I am not sure what you are referring to. It SOUNDS like you are referring to a BIOS password which would be completely unrelated to Windows or this article.
Alternately you could be referring to an old user profile that still exists in Windows even though you have deleted the files from C:\USERS. If that is that case, the solution is to remove them:
1: click the START button and type USERS
2: click on ADD EDIT OR REMOVE OTHER USERS
3: click on the dead user and select REMOVE

Thanks, this was super useful to know how to fix the user profile
THIS did not show a deleted user whose name pops up at BOOT
If you are comfortable messing with the Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI
Navigate to that Key and delete its content, OR rename that key to LogonUI.bak
