The issue here is that this machine was at one time joined to a domain, and that domain had a security policy applied to this machine. My guess would be that you can look at the properties of "my computer" and see that it's still thinks in in a domain, or a three line login box when you start it up would indicate this as well.

If it still thinks it's in a domain, drop it into a workgroup, however make sure you have a working local admin account first. That should ditch the policy, if not you will need to remove the security template with secedit.
