Password protect your Windows 7 beta account

Windows 7 beta doesn’t need to create a login password while installing. You can secure PC by strong password protecting it manually.

I'm sure many of you now need to install Windows 7 and have started to love it, as only the version looks pretty solid and some UI eye-candy.windows7logo

About Windows 7 beta installation, I am noticed that it didn’t ask for an Administrator account login password while installing. All it asked was the username. Now, considering this is a beta version it is understandable that the final version of Windows 7 looks a lot different than the beta in terms of fixing these corners.

If you’ve installed Windows 7 Beta and didn’t realize of this threat, make sure to secure account with a strong password. The process of setting up password is pretty much the same as Windows Vista.

Step-1: Control Panel

1

Click on the Start button and then click on Control Panel.

Step-2: User Accounts and Family Safety

2

Click on User Accounts and Family Safety option.

Step-3: User Accounts

3

Click on the User Accounts option. You can also click on the Change your Windows Password option. If you do then you skip Step-4.

Step-4: Create a password for your user account

4

Click on the Create a password for your account option. Note that since we haven’t assigned any password yet (the default Windows 7 Beta behavior) you can see on the right side of the above screenshot that it doesn’t say anything about password protection for the account.

Step-5: Assign a Password

5

Assign a password on this screen and type-in a Password Hint for you to get reminded of your password if you forget your password in the future. Click on the Create Password button.

6

Once you assign a password to your account, a Password Protected message appears just below your username, as you can see on the above screenshot, to indicate that this account is password protected.

This is all about. This is a basic thing that can get overlooked and can cause problems if your computer to share above all. I'm sure the other versions will fix it, but wanted to make only point out this behavior in Windows 7

Note: This post is not for the geeks (aka. advanced users).

Automatically Login Windows 7 Without Typing login Password

In this tutorial I will tell you how to configure Windows 7 OS to automatically connect without prompting you to enter your login password each time user account. Although in this example can be found on many other sites, we have decided to publish them. The problem with other similar guides is that they are not complete and not to give you all information you need to know. So I will try to guide you through all stages and share them with you all the information you need to know in order not to ruin the computer.

First, open the Run window by pressing the Windows key + R or launch the Command Prompt. Type one of the following two commands: netplwiz.exe or control userpasswords2. No matter which one you use, they have identical results and launch the same window.

Once you run the command, a User Accounts window similar to the one below will launch. There you will see the list of users registered on your PC. Select the user for which you no longer want to type the password in order to log in to Windows 7. Uncheck the option which says 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer' and click on OK.

autologwindows71

Now you will be asked to type right  user password of the user twice. After done, click on OK.

autologonwindows7-2

The next time you will start Windows 7, you will be automatically logged on with the user you just selected. This user will become the default log on user to Windows 7.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

If you have multiple users on your PC, the definition of that definition could be a disadvantage. Windows 7 will still automatically connect to the user that you selected during this procedure. Sign in to join to have another user wait for Windows 7 to boot and connects you automatically to disconnect, then the other user you wish to register. If you set things on how they followed the same procedure and make sure you check the option which says 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer'.

If  this Windows 7 PC has joined a network domain, such as a company network, this procedure will not work. In network domains, the policies regarding the log on procedure are set by the network administrator and cannot be overwritten by users. If you try this on your office computer, there is not way.
