Reset to the default local security policy in Windows 7

Hello

I saw the MSKB article about resetting the local security policy to the default settings for Windows XP and Vista but you can not find one for Win 7. Can anyone tell me an MSKB article or the answer with the necessary command?

Thank you very much.

Hi GDWNet,

Are you referring to this article?

Steps mentioned in the article applies to the Windows 7 operating system as well.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • No shortcut for the Microsoft local security policy, can not find in administrative tools (Control Panel)... Even after several updates.

    Hi, I've updated my Windows XP all current updates. But I still need this local security policy.

    Is there a specific link for this download, or should I look elsewhere - other than the administrative tools?


    Windows XP Home Edition is not local security policy.  This requires Windows XP Professional.

    What should you change?  There could be another way to do it.

  • Access local security policy in Windows 7 Home Premium

    How can I access local security policies in Windows 7 Home Edition Premium, it is even available in this version?  My default account is an administrator account, but there is still so much that I get ACCESS DENIED errors on.

  • W7 UAC & local security policy blocks the access of the drive to install W7

    The UAC setting is blocking access to the W7 installation disc and reports error Code: Ux80070005; Retail "user access is denied."
    because ir requires elevated privileges to run W7.  However, I'm already under W7 with administrative privileges at level 2.

    in the W7 disk and I get three icons on graphical interface at startup.  1 HD Windows, window OS W7 and Windows EFI boot disk.  Thus,.
    while I can run W7 in OS mode and startup in W7 Installation disc & Windows 7 EFI before starting the system, I can't

  • Where is the "local security policy"? Locking password.

    Hi all

    This was the case when I used XP I could the action of what happens when you enter the password to logon incorrectly a number of times.

    The local security policy (LSP), took place in Control Panel under administrative tools.  When I look upward, "what are administrative tools" in the "help and support", Win8 the FSA is mentioned, but in reality he resides in all administrative tools.

    Thus,.

    . The removed LSP Control Panel on purpose; He lives somewhere else?

    . The computer hangs if I get the password too often?

    . If so, how many times.

    . Can I change the number of times?

    (Please give back me my local security policy.)

  • How to find local security policy

    Hello

    I want to find a solution so that (2Brightsparks software) Synback let me create a scheduled task that allows empty passwords, which it does not now. I am running Win 7 x 64 Home Premium and I get the error:

    0x8007052f: connect by mistake: account restriction. Possible reason could be that empty passwords not allowed.

    They refer to the local security policy to make the change:

    "If you receive the error message" error message: user account restriction error ", you must then:

    -In Windows Vista, select start-> Control Panel

    -Switch to the view classes (left)

    -Double-click the Administrative Tools icon

    -Double-click on the element of local security policy

    -Navigate to security settings-> local policies-> Security Options

    -Double-click on the accounts of the order of the day: limit the use of local account passwords empty to console logon only

    -A window will appear. Select the disabled option, and then click OK.

    -Close the local security policy window.

    Thanks for any help!

    Thank you, however, I was able to run ancillary Syncback in Vista and 7 before empty password (because I'm a single user and a password need not) so this may not be the case. Y at - it may be a misunderstanding?

    Yet once, how to find local security to 7 Home Premium strategy, if possible?

    Please post your method in case you manage to run a scheduled task under an account with a blank password.
