How SOFTIMAGEDS Uses User Accounts

When you log on to a Windows NT workstation, you are accessing an environment associated with your user name. When you set any personal or project preferences while logged on, SOFTIMAGEDS saves them to your user profile. For example, when you customize the SOFTIMAGEDS desktop the layouts that you create are saved with your user name. The next time you log on to that machine, it recalls your previous settings.

Managing User Accounts

When you first receive your SOFTIMAGEDS system, Windows NT is installed and an administrator account is set up with a blank password.

You can change your password, create and modify accounts by accessing the Windows NT User Manager. The User Manager lets you define security features such as permissions, rights, accounts, user groups, and audit policies.

For more information on Managing User accounts, refer to Running Microsoft

Windows NT Workstation Version 4.0 which is include in your system package.
