Unattended Windows installations still need an administrative account; credentials can be left in one of the following files (if not cleaned up):

  • C:\Unattend.xml
  • C:\Windows\Panther\Unattend.xml
  • C:\Windows\Panther\Unattend\Unattend.xml
  • C:\Windows\system32\sysprep.inf
  • C:\Windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep.xml

Look for the <Credentials/> block.
