Blank password for user account in windows 2000 server

[Guest slc@cfl.rr.com]

I'm trying to set up a user account in windows 2000 server without a

password.

When I try to add a new user without a password it says that the

password cannot be left blank or some thing like that. I have done

this before, but can not

reminder the keys to type in that will allow for a blank password

wile

making a new user account.

 

Thanks

For any help in advance.

Backup - Recover Command

 

1) I used the back up command within Windows 2000 to back up the operating

system files, registry, and the rest of a C drive.

 

2) Comment -- The original HDD, was a SCSI drive.

 

3) Comment -- The SCSI drive died.

 

4) I am putting in a new IDE drive.

 

5) I want to restore to the new IDE drive.

 

6) If I load a copy of Windows 2K to the new IDE drive, can I then restore

from the original backup? In otherwords, I don't know the details of what

information is stored in a backup. It's not "by track" is it? Does the

replacement drive have to be the same size, etc.?

Grate, that worked in windows 2000 server. Thanks.

 

I also need to set the password lenght to zero in windows 2003 server.

but in windows 2003 server the setting is grayed out and I can not

change it. Do you know where in the registry in windows 2003 server I

can make the change so the password lenght is zero.

 

Thanks again.
