    Hey all,

    I have a pc (XP pro) and I need to set it up so that the password is blank.

    In Users Accounts the check box to ask for the password is not present.

    Is this a service that has been disabled? If so, which one is it? If not... uh... help?

    Hey,

    @mr_disc: I want windows to load automatically. This is for remote troubleshooting and the guy will need to rebbot the machine.

    @mukki: I tried that and recieved the following message;

    [The password does not meet the password policy requirements. Check the minimum password length, password complexity and password history requirements.]

    After my last post I reread it and there it was.

    Somebody added it to a domain that I am not an admin on without my knowledge.

    Sorry about the hassle.

    no bother, do you have to option to "log on to this computer" instead of the domain

    the policy was inherited from the domain server
