    • On W7, the 'Run' option is hidden when using RDP. Use a VNC client with a Windows key mapped and use WIN-R.
  • uncheck the option “Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer” and immediately re-check it
  • click OK
  • account: cltbld, enter new password twice. Note that the password is not verified, so do it right!
