> The password of the root and Administrator accounts in Windows images get set to a known value stored in _vcld.conf_ when an image is captured.  These accounts' passwords are randomized after an image is loaded.
> There is at least one script (_autologon_enable.cmd_) stored in Windows images which contains the default password.  {{Windows.pm::sanitize_files}} attempts to remove the default password from this script and other files it finds under _C:\Cygwin\home\root_.
> If the default password is changed in _vcld.conf_ after an image is captured, the old password will not be removed from the files because the VCL process only searches for the current value.  This should be improved.
