Dear community
Today i installed a laptop with PXE. Something in that task went wrong and the device was not joined to the domain.
Windows 10 was installed and ready to log in but i do not know the password of the local administrator if device is not domain joined.
When domain join is successfull while os deployment task then i have a working local admin password that i know.
What is the local password when a domain join is not sucessfull ? i read about that SCCM will use a random password for setup.
Can i somewhere configure that random password so that i can log in to a device that was not properly domain joined after os deplyment task and do the domain join manually?
I found 2 unattend.xml files on the SCCM server but there is no value vor Administrator password.

the files have a part that looks like this:

xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State">
<UserAccounts>
<AdministratorPassword>
<Value>
</Value>
<PlainText>true</PlainText>
</AdministratorPassword>
</UserAccounts>
<AutoLogon>
<Enabled>true</Enabled>
<Username>Administrator</Username>
<Domain>.</Domain>
<Password>
<Value>
</Value>

<PlainText>true</PlainText>
</Password>
<LogonCount>999</LogonCount>
</AutoLogon>
<Display>

can i here enter a password between <Value> my secret password </Value> or what is the right way to set a password that is used while setup ?

thank you very much for your help.
 
The password is set to random and that's why you're unable to login. If you want to specify a password, you can do that in the task sequence.
 
Thank you very much for your feedback, can you please explain me where to set this password.
We have set a password here in the task for a user called SYSOP.
This password works fine when the domain join in the task sequence also worked.
Today in that task that did not work (no domain join) i had as login name "Administrator" on the screen, when the domain job works then i always see "SYSOP" as login user.
Is this the "temporary" user and password that you talked about or is there an other place where i can configure that temporary setup password ?

We have set a
