NETWORK ACCESS WITH BLANK PASSWORD

Allowing Network Access with Blank Passwords (XP and Vista)




Although you can log in locally without a password, by default, WindowsXP Pro does not allow network users to access the computer without a password. Typically you will receive an Unknown error 31 if this is the case.


To change this setting:




  • Run gpedit.msc


  • Go to Computer Configuration / Windows Settings / Security Settings / Local Policies / Security Options


  • Double click on Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console login only


  • Disable this option
