Automatic Logon: Recovery Console Password

Hello,
I only just realised that the "Recovery Console" Password is NOT neccesarily
the same as the Domain Administrator Password. I believe it is set during
installation and from then on, remains unchanged (even if the Domain Admin
password is subsequently changed).
Bearing this in mind, I quickly followed the instructions here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239803 and synchronised both passwords.
Presumably, I would have been unable to use the "Recovery Console" (despite
having created my ERD) had I not known the password. Potentially, very
embarrasing.
I also noticed this artice: "How to enable an administrator to log on
automatically in Recovery Console": http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312149
My server is housed within a locked cabinet and I must say, I am tempted to
go down this route. I assume that (in order to exploit this) anyone "up to
no good" would need physical access to the server). Is this configuration
recommended?
Thanks for any guidance,
Stephen
