Please tell me what on earth I am doing wrong?

thats odd as all .... hell

i would be eeking a lot if i had that on mine

i will have a look at the file ...

i will let you know hows its goes

after i get back from cooking dinner n stuff ...

tested:

no problem for help

did you change any thing after windows reboot for the first time

?

no. when windows boots the first time it does this, thats the whole problem x.x

eek

i used your settings

and they work fine

but just F**Ked

have you try doing a rebuild of it ?

Try changing the password to "Default1"

You may have a password policy affecting it somehow.

hm. I changed it to "changeme". let's see if that fixes it.

*sigh* same issue...

can't say much about what could cause it, but heres my super easy solution:

don't use an unattended password at all. just set the password when its finished installing, and this problem should be no more.

heres what could be the problem, and since i'm on linux right now i can't provide pictures, so just bear with me.

during a normal full installation with an untouched windows XP Professional, you enter your username/password during installation. since the Username and Full Name aren't the same, you may be getting the wrong name during installation.

now, whether or not thats correct i can't say much, its just my hypothesis. i'm no einstien, i just take care to pay attention to details.

"changeme" isn't complex (under the complexity rules)

Default1 should satisfy this as it has a CAP, lower case and a number. It's also 8 characters.

big problem. Before I left for walmart to buy food for the month, I decided to try it without automatically entering passwords. I entered changeme manually for administrator, and the thing did the EXACT same thing. could not log in, but no warning or issue when entering the pass etc. What the heck is going on... It wont let me put no pass in there either. Ill be trying Default1 soon.

what OS you Nliting

XP , 2003 server

complex passwords are only enabled on 2003

and a real dogs ...... as well

i hate to see say but something your doing is it right

- > im still eekkking over the problem - >

everything worked fine with all previous versions of this nlite ISO. I removed a third user (admin and guest are still there) and set it to log in to Admin on first boot, since then it has been doing this.

OS is Windows XP SP2 RTM w/ all hotfixes.

whats the importance of having the unattended username/password...if it causes problems, why not just [once and for all] do it after the install to solve problems?

Because it doesn't allow you to put it off until the OS has been installed. I actually have RunOnce set up to open up the 'xp-style' account manager on first boot. I want windows to be completely installed and ready to go before any input is required.
