This doesn't work on XP. Pulling the network cable *does not* cause the machine to default to local administrator. From the lame post:
"Login on the computer, and wait for the login window to disappear. Pull the network cable out of the wall. After about 30 seconds you will see the message that "could not retrieve local profile". It now loads up into the LOCAL administrator mode"
Think about this for just a second. Think about how Windows has worked with profiles since pretty much forever. The profile will be (unless configured otherwise) cached on the local machine. If configured to not be cached on the local machine you will either be given a default desktop (in luser land not local admin) and in some cases (older windows versions) you won't be allowed to login.
So either the post is complete baloney or there is something badly misconfigured.

This seems to me to be more of a poor policy configuration. In Windows
XP, the policy settings 'Local Policies/' 'Log on locally' and 'Deny
logon locally' should prevent what this person is claiming (given proper
policy settings). They did not identify a specific OS, but I assume
it's XP.
I haven't tried it, but that's my first impression.
