Can I
configure the Windows XP/2000/2003
Recovery Console to auto-logon whenever
I run it?
Yes, but
be warned! By doing this, any user can
gain access to your computer by using
the Recovery Console and without being
prompted for an administrative password.
To set an
automatic administrator logon for the
Recovery Console, complete the following
steps while you are logged on with
administrative privileges:
-
Double-click Administrative Tools in
Control Panel, and then double-click
Local Security Policy.
-
Expand
Security Settings , expand Local
Policies, and then click Security
Options . Locate the "Recovery
Console: Allow automatic
administrative logon" policy.
Double-click this policy, and then
set it to "Enable".
-
Close
the snap-in. The policy is effective
immediately. Be sure to go back into
the Local Security Policy snap-in to
make sure that the effective setting
for the policy is "Enabled".
The next
time you boot to the Recovery Console,
you won't be prompted for a password.
