Microsoft Windows Vista doesn’t allow users without password by default, but if you remember correctly, it was possible at Windows XP.

Overriding this behaviour is quite easy but requires a little registry modification.


  • Open regedit.exe and go to the following key
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
  • Now create a new DWORD value named “limitblankpassworduse”
  • Set it to 0.


Once done Vista will behave like Windows XP. Isn't it cool?
