How to reduce timeout for bad password on disconnected laptop?
- by Elroy Flynn
I use a Windows 7 laptop computer. When not attached to my AD domain, if I enter an incorrect password, I have to wait approximately a full minute before the failure response comes back.
When attached to the domain, the response is instant. I think that what's happening is that is that when my entry fails against the cached pw, Windows tries to reach the domain controller and the timeout for that operation is about 60s.
Is there a registry entry that controls the timeout? I'd love to reduce it.
