Troubleshooting

Problem 1:

On a safe shutdown and reboot operation, when rebooting, the computer stops at the logon screen and waits for a Username and Password instead of automatically logging on.

Solution:

Configure the Autologon function for the computer as follows:

1.For Win NT, run regedit.exe; for Win 2000 or XP, run regedt32

2.Select the following:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Winlogon

3.Under the Edit menu, select Add Value.

4.Add the variables and values as shown in the table below:

Name

Value

 

 

DefaultDomainName

[domain name for this computer]

 

 

DefaultUserName

[user name for this computer]

 

 

DefaultPassword

[user password for this computer]

 

 

AutoAdminLogon

Note: Remove the brackets and replace the text inside the brackets with suitable values for yourself on this computer.

5.Close the Registry Editor.

Note: Make sure you have a real password (not blank) configured for logging on to your system.
