Exported security configuration files do not include user account passwords in order to protect them. Similarly, when you import a configuration file, the Security Configuration program creates user accounts without passwords.
You can avoid this situation by adding a password to each account in the configuration file. When you import the edited configuration file, the Security Configuration program assigns a password for each user account you modified.
The following figure shows what part of the configuration file to edit.
Adding Passwords to a Security Configuration File
NOTE: You do not need to add passwords to user accounts that use Windows security. However, in order to protect your passwords, if you add passwords to a security configuration file prior to importing it, delete the file when you finish importing the data. If you need a text copy of the security configuration, export the configuration again.
