xp unattended is asking me for admin password


Recommended Posts

everything else is fine.

the ibm netvista x40 is so old I don't even need drivers.

slipstreamed sp3

i opted to show administrator on the welcome screen and gave administrator a password.

this is the only place the unattended stalls.... prompting for administrator password.

thanks in advance.

UPdate: I went back through the nlite loader and for whatever reason, the password fields were blank. put in the password and saved the .iso

will see what happens. thanks.

hmm... well that worked but now in the welcome screen it has my name, not "Administrator" (obviously from nlite settings).

also, when I click on my name to login.... i get the hand cursor but can't type the password in.

let's try NOT having the administrator on the welcome screen.

only needed for remote desktop anyways.

everything seems to be working. as always, I can leave well enough alone and went venturing into other areas.

Got some error codes during setup so i nuked the .iso file and rolled back a couple presets.

Took Administrator off the welcome screen and all is golden.

Thanks for your time.

Internet explorer keeps crashing 90% of time. Can't blame nlite as I did slipstream sp3 but you would think.

Reformatted, used a vanilla oem cd with sp2 and installed xp manually.

Everthing is working presto. Now to update sp2 with sp3rc2 and see if ie crashes?
