Creating Admin Account Without Password

[Cuttlas]

Hi

 

I'm using WAIK to create an auto attended installation of windows 7, But I can not create an admin account which does not require password. I tried so many ways, but did not get anything to work. how Can I do that?

Well you just create an account and don't specify a password.

 

                <LocalAccounts>                    <LocalAccount wcm:action="add">                        <Group>Administrators</Group>                        <DisplayName>Admin Account</DisplayName>                        <Name>Admin Account</Name>                    </LocalAccount>                </LocalAccounts>

Should I add it in oobeSystem Section? Or I need to add this piece of code in other sections too?

Unfortunetly it is not working correctly, after installing windows, in first launch, It will say that you should set a password for your account. But really I'm looking for a way to set a simple account without any password

Try this, run a .cmd from FistLogonCommands that runs the following:

 

wmic useraccount where "name='Admin Account'" set PasswordRequired=false

 

It should disable the prompt to set a password.
