Did your friend give you your own account, or are you
actually logging on as "administrator"? If you have your
own username, be sure your friend made you part of
the "administrators" group.
Either way, you fix the problem in the "users" section of
the control panel. There are options there to assign
passwords to users, and to "change the way users logon",
that is, either with Ctrl-Alt-Del or the welcome screen.
Actually, the welcome screen is fine once you have
assigned a password to yourself.
