						Warning Never configure a DME to log in automatically. Doing so
							prevents true security in your network.
						If — despite our recommendation — you configure a DME to log into
						Windows automatically, password management becomes far more
						complex. Thus, any time that you neglect to change an auto-logon
						password specifically, you will prevent your DME from working as
						designed. See Other Required Password Maintenance (Only When
						Autologon Is Configured), page 2-13.
SCXUser	viewcast	X	X	X	X	Used for the Niagara SCX service as well as the web service. This is not

admin	admin	X	X	X	X	Used for the web-based administrative console on DMEs.
						Login is possible only through a system from which your DME is
						reachable. Its connection to your DME might be either direct
						or networked.

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.

•From Step 1, this workflow assumes that your DME is either new or in a factory-restored condition. If this is not true, or if you are not sure, we recommend very strongly that you perform a factory restore operation now.
