Users created with LocalAccount are not password protected Even though the password is set.

When I add local users in oobeSystem (for Win7 PRO) the password field seems to be ignored. When logging in one can just log on without ever being prompted for a password. Have anyone ever experienced that problem?

This is the relevant section of the answer file (created in WSIM):
<settings pass="oobeSystem">
...
<UserAccounts>
    <LocalAccounts>
        <LocalAccount wcm:action="add">
            <Password>
                <Value>UABjJAJkfl8AAkfka==</Value>
                <PlainText>false</PlainText>
            <Password>
            <Description>Local User</Description>
            <Group>Users</Group>
            <Name>Localuser</Name>
            <DisplayName>Local user</DisplayName>
        </LocalAccount>
    </LocalAccounts>
</UserAccounts>
...
</settings>



What I don't show here is that I also have autologin for administrator with count=1 to make the FirstLogonCommands run unattended. But that shouldn't affect localuser.
