Automatic Logon Without Name or Password

This setting allows Windows clients to logon without entering a user name or password, therefore bypassing the logon box.

  1. Using Regedit, open the key below.
  2. Create a new String Value, and name it 'Default Password'.
  3. Modify the data of 'Default Password' to match the default users password. The default username is stored at:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Network\Logon] - Username
  4. Reboot and the system should automatically logon. Note: The password is stored in clear text, therefore anyone with access to the registry can see the default password!

Key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
Value Name: Default Password Data Type: REG_SZ
