How to get around Press CTRL + Alt + Delete or use the Windows Security Button Windows 7
I have just had a client call me and has the following message on his windows 7 pro login.
Press CTRL + Alt + Delete or use the Windows Security Button
We cannot bypass it as after pressing control alt delete it just flashes and goes back to the same prompt
It is a MSI AE2400 All in one pc
Its been fine for years but just this morning it presented this behaviour and no one did anything
I do have boot disk that allows me to get to the registry but after spending some time with google nothing works
Is there some instructions to be able to disable via registry or some other method as I am unable to log in at all
Have tried safemode same issue, have tried last know good configuration with no luck
Any thoughts appreciated

To get around the requirement to press those keys, offline deactivate that policy, so lookup the corresponding registry keys.

Not sure which policy to look for
Therefore MS offers a GPO reference excel sheet. Google it, download it, inside the file search for ctrl
Ok, have it open here:
"Do not display the lock screen" found at computer config - Control Panel\Personalization
"Do not display the lock screen" found at computer config - Control Panel\Personalization

Problem is can't login to get there. I haven't tried to rdp in yet as I am not sure if that is even turned on to allow access via rdp

Apologies for delay in getting back to this. I was able to log in via remote from advice provided from McKnife and the links he provided. I was able to get into the registry and turn the lock screen off. Next time a rebooted the the login screen was back to normal, So Problem was solved
Thanks for all advice
