(solved) Access Denied for Local Administrator User After Sysprep

Problem:

After VM creation VM is not fully sys-prepped and you cannot login using local Administrator User account.You see a error stating "Access is denied".

Solution:

You can do following steps to solve this issue.
Insert the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor ISO and from there do the following:

• Press enter (Select default)
• 1 – Password reset SAM
• 1 – Edit user data and passwords
• 01f4 (this is my administrator user RID, enter would do this as its the default)
• 1 – Clear (Blank) User Password
• 2 – Unlock and enable user account
• q – Quit editing user, back to user select
• q – Quit (you will be asked if there is something to save)
• y – Write files back (Default is not to save your changes)
• n – Try again (Assume here that everything went well)

Now remove the ISO and reboot into Windows, you wont’ have to enter a password,Fixeddddd.

Note: it would be a good idea to select ‘Generalize’ when sysprepping!

Have Fun!
