Changing Factory-Defined Login Credentials
Warning Be very careful as you complete this workflow. Any mistakes that you make might prevent your DME from booting correctly or functioning correctly.
Before You Begin
•This workflow uses the instance of Microsoft Windows that runs on your DME. Even though a remote management connection might be sufficient, we recommend instead that you connect a keyboard, a mouse, and a monitor to your DME directly and use them to control Windows.
