Permitting Network Access Without a Password<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

To allow users to log onto their computers without a password and then access the XP Professional machine without a password, you must make a security policy change:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"_x0000_i1035\"<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n
  1. Go to Control Panel<\/em> | Performance and Maintenance<\/em> | Administrative Tools<\/em> | Local Security Policy<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  2. Expand Local Policies<\/em> | Security Options<\/em>.<\/li>\n
  3. Double-click Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console login only<\/em>, which is enabled by default. Disable this option and click OK<\/em>.<\/li>\n

    <\/span><\/ol>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n

    This will permit network access without a password. The user’s computer can boot directly to the Windows desktop, and be validated against the corresponding XP Professional user account, without a password.<\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n

    Note that the term \u201cblank passwords\u201d isn’t technically accurate.\u00a0 There’s a difference between having a password which consists of one or more blank characters, and having no password at all.\u00a0 This setting actually permits access by users who have no password at all. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
