Modifying an Account Name and Password
You can modify the
Administrator
and any other account name password from the
User Accounts
utility in the
Control Panel
.
Once the
Administrator
password has been successfully modified you must follow the
How to Disable/Change the Auto Logon Feature
section in order to continue to
automatically log in to the
Administrator
account at bootup.
Note:
All changes made to the C:\ partition must be saved or committed so that the next
time the ePro PS is restarted the new data will be available. Refer to the
section for additional information about saving files to the C:\ partition.
Using the Auto Logon Feature
The ePro PS Auto Logon feature is used to automatically log into a specified account
name and password. By default, the Auto Logon feature is enabled and logs into the
Administrator
account, using
Administrator
as the account name and password.
If you want to change the Auto Logon features, refer to the descriptions below.
Note:
You must have administration privileges in order to disable/change the Auto
Logon feature.
How to Disable/Change the Auto Logon Feature
To disable or change the
Windows XP Auto Logon
feature you will need to know how
to edit the Windows XP registry using
Regedit
. Extreme care should be exercised when
making changes to the Windows XP registry. If you are not familiar or comfortable
making changes to the registry, contact your local system or network administrator.
The following entries in the Windows XP registry can be modified to change the account,
password, and domain used by the
Auto Logon Feature
:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\
Winlogon\DefaultUserName
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\
Winlogon\DefaultPassword
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\
Winlogon\DefaultDomain
To enable/disable the
Auto Logon Feature
, set the following registry entry to 1 or 0:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\
Winlogon\AutoAdminLogin
How to Bypass the Auto Logon Feature
If you need to switch the logon user back to the
Administrator
account, you may
bypass the Auto Logon feature by connecting a keyboard to your ePro PS and pressing
the right
Shift
key while booting up. The
Windows XP Security
login dialog box
appears, which allows you to enter a different account name and password.
