Logging on

You can log on to your thin client either automatically or manually.

Automatic logon

The default for the XPe-based thin client is automatic logon. The administrator can use the HP Logon Manager in the Control Panel to enable/disable auto logon and change the auto logon user name, password, and domain. Only the administrator logon account can change auto logon properties.

✎To save changes, be sure to disable the write filter cache or issue the -commitcommand anytime during the current boot session. See “Enhanced Write Filter Manager” on page 26 for information about the write filter and instructions for disabling the write filter. Enable the write filter when you no longer want permanent changes.

Enabling automatic logon bypasses the Log On to Windows dialog

box. To log on as a different user while auto logon is enabled, press and hold Shift while clicking Start > Shut Down > Log Off. This displays the Log On to Windows dialog box and allows you to manually enter the logon information.

Manual logon

✎

When automatic logon is disabled, thin client startup displays the Log On to Windows dialog box.

Type the logon information in the User Name and Password text boxes. Note the following:

■For a user logon account, the factory-default user name and password are both User.

■For an administrator logon account, the factory-default user name and password are both Administrator.

For security purposes, HP recommends that you change the

passwords from their default values. An administrator can change passwords by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del to open the Windows Security

dialog box, and then selecting Change Password. You cannot change the password when logged on as a user.
