This setting allows Windows clients to automatically logon without entering a user name or password, therefore bypassing the logon box.
Open your registry and find the key below.
Create a new string value called "AutoAdminLogon" and set it to "1" to enable automatic login.
Create a new string value called "DefaultUsername" and set it to username of the default user.
Create a new string value called "DefaultPassword" and set it to match the password of the default user.
Restart Windows and the system should automatically logon.
Note: As the password is stored in clear text any user with access to the local Windows registry may then be able to see the default password.
