local logon
About this tag
Local logon refers to signing into a Windows computer using an account stored on that specific machine rather than a network or domain account. Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover troubleshooting scenarios where users are locked out of their local accounts, such as after forgetting a local login password on an ASUS laptop. The tag also appears in the context of security vulnerabilities, where multiple Microsoft security bulletins (MS14-002, MS13-033, MS12-042, MS12-018, MS11-054, MS10-059) describe elevation of privilege flaws that require an attacker to have valid credentials and the ability to log on locally. Additionally, local logon is relevant when joining a Windows 7 Pro system to a Windows 2000 domain, as domain credentials may not be recognized after reboot, requiring a local logon to troubleshoot network access.
