remote desktop connection without a password?

I have two networked  systems, one desktop and one laptop, both running Win7-Pro.  When i attempt to Remote Desktop i'm told i can't continue without a password. The account i want to connect with does not have a password.  Is there some way i can connect without enforcing a password on the remote account?

Answer
You have to have a password on the account you want to connect with. It's so insecure activating Remote Desktop for an account without one that it's not even an option. No hacks, no registry edits, you have to have a password.

Set a password.

It's not like you couldn't set the password and setup "automatic logon" at startup if you are worried about having to type it in all the time.  You could leave your door unlocked at your home all the time too - do you?
