Oh dear, I remember something similar was possible on iOS lockscreen multiple times. What version of Windows was that?

95. 98 had an even better one... just hitting cancel on some login boxes would let you in.

I believe that was by design: the dialog was an opportunity to authenticate with the domain. If you just wanted local access you could hit cancel. Remember Win9x was not a secure OS itself.

Pretty sure I've seen a similar trick on XP or later as well. (I learned it from someone I didn't meet until long after I last saw a 95/98/2000 machine.)
