Portable: Autoadminlogon

At 2:07 AM, Liam’s monitor displayed a pale blue screen. Two empty white boxes. A ghost of a user icon. A cursor blinking patiently in the password field.

He stared at the desktop. He reached for the power cord, pulled it from the wall, and vowed to never trust a skeleton key again. autoadminlogon

He walked back. The screen was not the Golden Gate Bridge. It was the login screen. At 2:07 AM, Liam’s monitor displayed a pale blue screen

His computer booted. The BIOS POSTed. The Windows boot loader spun. And then, the local winlogon.exe process read the registry. A cursor blinking patiently in the password field

So he kept the registry key at 1 . DefaultDomainName was set to HELIX\Liam.Lee . DefaultPassword was a 28-character string of entropy. AutoAdminLogon was set to 1 .

For thirty-six months, it was perfect.

Liam took a deep breath. He typed a single backslash into the username field. In the password field, he left it blank. He pressed Enter.
