Startup for Windows NT Systems

Connecting a PS/2 keyboard and Mouse is recommended before you get started. The soft keyboard and touch panel will not work until the Windows 2000 operating system is licensed. Therefore an external keyboard is required to license the product.

Note: Your system has been set up to enable auto logon. Auto logon allows the operating system to boot without your having to use a keyboard to press CTL-ALT- DEL.

11. You will be prompted for a password.

To use the auto logon feature, type admin for the password. Press the TAB key and type admin in the Confirm Password box. Press ENTER.

Login Recommendation

If you type admin as your Administrator password, your industrial computer will automatically log on as Administrator.

Log onto the system as Administrator when you power up the system. Doing so eliminates the requirement to log on to Panel C when you run the Panel C Demo or any other project that includes a user named Administrator. All Panel C projects are configured with an Administrator user by default.
