How to Enable Automatic Login in Windows NT
WARNING: Using the Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Please make sure that a MIS Administrator is present. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
1. Go to the START button on your toolbar.
2. Select RUN.
3. Type in REGEDT32.EXE.
4. Locate the Registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
5. Establish your Domain Name, Account Name, and Password, using the values you would normally type when logging on. You should assign the following values:
DefaultDomainName DefaultUserName DefaultPassword
Note: The DefaultPassword value may not exist. If it does not, from the Edit menu, choose Add Value. In the Value Name field, type: “DefaultPassword” (without the quotes). Select REG_SZ for the Data Type. In the String field, type your password. Save your changes.
Also, if no DefaultPassword string is specified, Windows NT automatically changes the value of the AutoAdminLogon key from 1 (true) to 0 (false), thus disabling the AutoAdminLogon feature.
6. From the Edit menu, choose Add Value.
7. Enter “AutoAdminLogon” (without the quotes) in the Value Name field. Select REG_SZ for the Data Type.
8. Enter “1” (without the quotes) in the String field. Save your changes.
9. Exit REGEDT32.
10. Exit Windows NT and turn off your PowerStation.
11. Restart your PowerStation and NT. You should be able to Logon automatically.
NOTE: To bypass the AutoAdminLogon process, and to log on as a different user, hold down the SHIFT key after a logoff or after a Windows NT restart.
