Administrator account with a blank password for Remote Desktop Connection

In Linux, You can remotely connect to Windows desktops through remmina or rdesktop. However, if no password is set for the connection account in windows, the default group policy does not allow remote client connection.

 

My XP system is like this: the Administrator account does not set a password, so that XP can automatically log on at every startup, but this is the reason that remmina cannot be remotely connected.

 

We can modify the Windows Group Policy to solve this problem:

Start"Group Policy Editor"(Start> RUN> gpedit. MSC), In the"Windows Settings> Security Settings> Local Policies> Security Options", Find"Account-a local account with a blank password can only log on to the console", Set it to"DisabledIn this way, you can use the Administrator account, empty password for Remote Desktop Connection.
