Bypassing the Windows Logon Screen on Networked PCs

[David Bissell]

I have a customer with a very simple network of three PCs connected to the
internet by an ADSL router. One of the PCs runs a security camera moitoring
application which allows direct remote access via the router (the router
firewall forwards all incoming traffic to that PC such that the cameras can
be remotely interrogated by a web browser).

If there is a power out the PC automatically restarts (set in the BIOS) but
stops at the logon screen (either the Classic or Welcome) although there is
no password associated with the account.

Does anyone know of a way of bypassing the logon screen such the PC loads as
if the enter key had been pressed or the logon name had been clicked please?

Regards, David

TweakUI has an autologon function & allows you to specify a username and password.
