Hello,
We are running 2019 LTSC with fully UWF locked C:
We would like to be able to update Windows user password without unlocking (because in the end it requires 2 reboots).
Found this article:
https://www.passmoz.com/where-windows-password-stored.html
... and in fact excluding C:\Windows\System32\Config\SAM does allow password changes to stick on reboot. I wanted to check with Microsoft community anyway to make sure.
But I still have one more issue to resole! I have a Task in Task Scheduler that needs to be updated with the same password change. Don't care if it has to be recreated from scratch - this is OK too. But what file/registry path do I have to exclude to allow this particular change?
Any feedback really appreciated. Thank you
