SysPrep Mini-setup not setting Admin Password unless not encrypted

[Guest]

I have a blank Admin password. Just wanted to get that out there first as it
is usually the problem.

Sysprep.inf is not seting my Admin password unless it is not encrypted and I
am not receiving an error message, it just remains blank.

Here is my sysprep.inf which works and resets the password on a Dell GX520,
however on a Dell GX100 and Dell Laitude D610 it has not worked properly. The
only modifications I made are to the OEMDuplicatorstring= to change the model
and date. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Matt

Slight modification, will not work WITHOUT encrypted password either... It
did work once, but I failed to image it at that point and it no longer works.

Never mind all, got it figured out. Forgot the " around the password. Pretty
sure I generated from setupmgr and did a copy/paste, but can't remember.
It's working now.

Thanks.

Greeting,

It is also possible to reset admin password using special tool, such as
Active@ Password Changer. It is small and easy to use yet powerful and
can easily and quickly reset pass. Give it a glance.
