Default How to set Autologon password in factory mode

Hi,

In a machine, I can set blank password for administrator. In
winbom.ini, I set AuditAdminAutoLogon to Yes and then run sysprep -
factory. Then, next time pc reboots autologon works properly.
However, autologon fails if administrator password is different from
"".

How can I define a autologon password in factory mode?

Thanks in advance.

(Psst: Passwords aren't stored in plaintext; they are encrypted.)

Hi Ed,
On Winbom.ini you can define in [Factory] section:
[Factory]
Password = pass
UserName = user
...

But this user and password: "Specifies the name of the account used
for operations during Factory mode of Sysprep, including preinstalling
applications by using the [OEMRunOnce] section"

On sysprep.inf you can define in [GuiUnattended] section:
[GuiUnattended]
AdminPassword=password
...

Can I define a password in Winbom.ini as I can define it in
sysprep.inf?
