Defaultuser0 wrong password
For 2 months im facing that problem, I had absolutly no idea where to search for, so that I started to create a thread on here. And just today I found the solution:
The login of Defaultuser0 hasnt worked, because in the registry there was set an Autologon for Defaultuser0 and with the DefaultDomain of my company. As there isnt a defaultuser0 in my local AD, that sign in fails. But why was a Domainname in the Autologon? The reason for it was a GPO that sets the Domain Name for every Device, so that a user has not to manually write it down. After disabling that GPO the Problem has been solved.

- what gpo?
- let me add this piece of information to the mix for the next person.
this is what I saw.
I had added autologin information into the registry. That was working fine. Then I ran sysprep. When going through "first boot" I started getting the spinning wheel of "just a moment" hanging forever. I did a hard reboot. it booted to "wrong password" "defaultuser0".
This leads me to believe if you have a auto login setup, that when it tries to login to the auto created account "defaultuser0" as part of some windows process, it tries to use your saved password and hangs / errors out. Remove the password from the registry or what ever the tool you are using for auto login, that should fix your issue as it did mine.
