This law certainly applies to complex passwords, where you need to remember a combination of uppercase, lowercase, number and squiggles non-alphanumeric characters. Let me give you an example of why I like the registry setting AutoAdminLogon, I was training a new Windows 7 course containing two delegates from hell. The other ingredient was a new technician, who installed the default American keyboard layout; even though we were in London England, where naturally our keyboards had the UK layout.
The course started with the delegates logging on to their Windows 7 machines as Administrator with the password of P ssw0rd. Have you guessed the problem? The was not on the keyboard where the delegates and I thought it would be, namely above the comma.
Most of the first session was spent getting the 8 delegates just to logon. For the second exercise, they had to join a domain — that took the rest of the morning because after the restart they had to grapple with the complex password — again. Over lunchtime I edited the registry, my aim was to activate AutoAdminLogon and thus configure an automatic logon without delegate input. For my solution to work, I needed the same settings on all 8 machines. No more problems with logging on after that.
Training is the classic place to try these naughty but nice tricks; another scenario for AutoAdminLogon is for test machines not connected to a production network. Example AutoAdminLogon. Thanks to regedit, Auto Login can be enabled so that you can logon automatically without having to enter a password. Such configurations are most useful for testing. Remember that the above entry does not SET your credentials it specifies them. You need to configure an admin account and password locally on each machine first.
Wow, I was all ready to try the registry edit solution, but Autologon makes this a piece of cake. Paste this into a batch file and run as an admin - Change the user Id, Password and domain where appropriate.
