computer" check box, and then click Apply.

these steps:

Value
Type DefaultPassword as the value name, and then press ENTER.
Double-click the newly created key, and then type your password in
the Value Data box. If you don't have a password leave it blank.
Double-click the AutoAdminLogon entry, type 1 in the Value Data box, and
then click OK. If there is no AutoAdminLogon entry, create the entry. To do
this, follow these steps:

Value

Double-click the newly created key, and then type 1 in the Value
Data box.
