Here’s a useful tip if you ever need to setup a password, I use this approach when setting my Media Center, as with a password, Windows can remember network logins and connect without requiring a keyboard attached (useful when combined with the option to launch Windows Media Center on startup)
- Go to the Start Menu, type netplwiz in the search box, and press Enter
- If you have UAC active (which you should), you’ll need to give permission for the program to start.
- The User Accounts window will open. Notice the option Users must enter a name and password to use this computer, uncheck the box and click OK.
- You will be prompted for the login name and password of the user that you want automatically logged in. Enter the information for a user account that already exists and click OK.
