defaultuser0

Thanks to barrer898 for the following idea!

Today I am going to show you a Windows-breaking bug with a non-existing user called defaultuser0. This name is actually not reserved, and you can create new users like that after the installation. This bug has a lot of potential, I will misuse it as much as I can. 😉

This just in: "Enderman gets locked out of Windows 10; can't teleport back in, claiming a 'fake account!'"

Me: *logging in as Administrator*
PC: 'Your account has been disabled. Please see your system administrator."
Me: excuse me what the frick

The upload date says 2019, but everything in me is screaming 2009. The channel name, the text on the bottom, the non-clickbait title, even the music.

"OOBE"

**has Windows XP theme flashbacks**

Ah, what a name.

[ShinkaPlant]

*defaultuser0
: exists*

*Fans: Is this some sort of creepypasta?*

*Enderman: Well yes, but actually no.*

Audit Mode: It's used to make a custom version of windows(for example: Installing programs, drivers and/or customization(wallpaper, custom icons...)) and then you create a custom windows image to save it to a CD, then you can install windows from there and you'll have the programs, drivers and customization.
That special tool is used to prepare the system and help creating the image

[robindieker]

Hey @Enderman: The "Audit mode" is used by OEMs to prepare systems right before creating an image and bumping it out on all of their machines. You can install stuff like Drivers there. The "defaultuser0" is the user account used for actually being able to use the whole OOBE setup. Without it you cant run the OOBE setup as it MUST be run from a user context and as such a user account. As soon as you finish OOBE (the "User creation part") the account gets automatically deleted by Windows. But if you abort the setup without actually creating a user account Windows "stalls". As the "Administrator" account is actually no real account but the "defaultuser0" account (which at the same time got already deleted as quitting OOBE) Windows cant login again as the SID (Security ID) for the account is no longer valid and as such will always show a wrong password. Actually it should be called "No GUID for this account anymore" ;-)

Next time try naming the user defaultuser0

[Uzedrname]

Fun fact: If a defaultuser0 account is made while in Audit Mode, the OOBE will actually create a "defaultuser1" account. If you've made a defaultuser1 and a defaultuser0 account in Audit Mode the OOBE will make defaultuser2.
I actually manually created defaultuser0-100 in Audit Mode and found that the OOBE made defaultuser101...

How to make your windows unstable:
1. Install Windows 10
2. Reboot connected to internet

I remember when I was opening random files in my system. I clicked on some setupuser.exe stuff and there was this deafultuser0 which had a password.
I removed the user later.

CTRL+Shift+F3 (Audit Mode) is usually good for adminstrators who need to prep a system image for use in enterprise environments avoiding the need for installation over and over on computers with the same hardware setup. (sysprep helps with getting back into the OOBE)

[Dr-Random]

Similar story: I was browsing through system32 on Windows Vista (I know that was a poor move.) and I found msoobe. I almost screwed up the computer by clicking on it. I pinned it to my start menu and added a shortcut for it to my desktop just to look extra weird. I still have the file and it didn’t damage the system by moving it.

I love this channel. Obscure details and random bugs in operating systems are what I live for.

[itsthesola]

Not really a bug.


Audit mode lets you modify a Windows install and have Windows take the modifications into account as new "defaults", so that it will show the OOBE on next reboot.
It's basically what OEM's use for configuring their computers. defaultuser0 is a dummy account created temporarily in order to allow Audit mode to operate, and is being watched upon by Sysprep (the popup you closed straight away), which is responsible for applying the changes to the default configuration.

What happen if you install a virus while this is open?

Pd: sorry for my english

[arandomworm]

More Proof: If you installed fully windows 10, you open CCleaner and then go to settings, go to user and you will see defaultuser0

[kemoboy]

This just happened to me today. I installed windows on a new machine, and for some reason it freezed right before i entered my new used details in, at that moment, when I restarted, defaultuser0 appeared instead of my account and it the one who has not been created. just logged in by itself, no pass required.
