windows network password (OT)

[urs]

Sorry, this is OT, but at least related to the use of LabView

My testsystem should restart after a powerdown to a safe mode. This
could be solved with autostart of one of my programs.
But after power on the PC hangs up waiting for input for the password to
connect to the local network.
I cannot use the testsystem without the network, because some data is
stored on the server.
The PC runs under win98, the server is NT.

Any hints how to start the PC without this break and with connection to
the netweork are very much appreciated.

Best Regards
Urs

I know there exists a program that is an "autologon" for Win NT. I have used it in the past for a similar application. It has been a while but it may acutually come with the "NT Tools" that ships with the product.

It is very simple - just edit registry ...

- Auto logon

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Establish your domain name, account name, and password, using the values
you would normally type when logging on. You should assign the following values:
DefaultDomainName
DefaultUserName
DefaultPassword
NOTE: The DefaultPassword value may not exist. If it doesn't, from the Edit menu,
choose Add Value. In the Value Name field, type: "DefaultPassword"
(without the quotation marks). Select REG_SZ for the Data Type.
In the String field, type your password. Save your changes.
Also, if no DefaultPassword string is specified, Windows NT automatically changes
the value of the AutoAdminLogon key from 1 (true) to 0 (false),

thus disabling the AutoAdminLogon feature.

From the Edit menu, choose Add Value. Enter AutoAdminLogon in the Value Name field.
Select REG_SZ for the Data Type. Enter 1 in the String field. Save your changes.

Exit REGEDT32.
Exit Windows NT and turn off your computer.
Restart your computer and Windows NT. You should be able to logon automatically.

You want TweakUI. It's available on the CD for Win98 1st ed. and on the
Microsoft site at
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q190/6/43.ASP (See the link
at the bottom of the page for the newest version) Among other things, it
allows you to set up a PC to automatically enter a user name and password
and continue boot up. It works well, but occasionally you still have to
manually log in. It's a useful utility for PXI controllers running Win98.

For more information, do a Dogpile search on TweakUI.
