Because  the  Default password is stored in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (HKLM)and the
user   password  is  stored  in  HKEY_CURRENT_USER  (HKCU).  HKLM  is
accessible  at  boot  time before anyone has logged in, whilst HKCU is
only   loaded  when  a  user logs in. I.e. Windows and other boot time
apps,  before  a user logs in, ONLY HAS access to HKLM as windows does
not  know  what  local  user  registry  to  load.  As this could cause
problems  else  where.  If  you  want  more  info  search  the msdn at
http://msdn.microsoft.com
