And there simply is *NO* other correct answer than this one.

Unless, you want it to be secure. You can have
a) Configure-it-however-you-want
b) Secure

Pick one.

How about not having it connected to the internet or intranet? Yes,
there are people who have and use computers that aren't connected.

Of course that is true, but really has nothing to do with the
above. I said nothing about the internet. Plus, not having a
password on a system without an internet connection is still a
potential problem, unless you have it locked in some secure
CIA-plot-movie inpenetrable room.
