Is there a way to set Windows XP to automatically assign a password whenever
a new account is created? The machine in question is a stand-alone desktop
running Windows XP Pro SP2. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
 
No, you need to set your own password.

Hi,

If you create the user with net.exe, you can set a password at
the same time.

Creating local user jeanette with the password some password:

net.exe user jeanette /ADD "some password"


Run the command in a command prompt to see any output from net.exe.
