Windows® Embedded 8 Standard for HP Thin Clients Quick Reference Guide

4 Configuration
Logging on
You can log on to the thin client either automatically or manually.
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 account can
change the auto logon properties.
NOTE: To save changes, please perform the appropriate action depending on the write filter
selections. Please consult
HP Unified Write Filter on page 16 for detailed instructions.
Enabling automatic logon bypasses the Log On to Windows dialog box.
Manual logon
When the automatic logon is disabled, thin client displays the Log On to Windows dialog box at
startup. Type the logon information in the User Name and Password text boxes. Note the following:
●
For a user account, the factory-default user name and password are both User.
● For an administrator 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 clicking on the Settings Charm > Change
PC Settings > Users, and then selecting Change Your Password from the Sign In Options
list. You cannot save the password when logged on as a user.
● Passwords are case-sensitive.
●
The administrator may create additional user accounts by going to User Accounts in the Control
Panel. HP recommends you keep the additional users to a minimum because of local memory
constraints.
Administrator logon access
To access Administrator logon regardless of the state of the thin client user mode:
1. Click the user account in the upper right corner of the modern UI and click Sign out.
2. When a screen with date and time appears, press any key or click the mouse to bring up the
logon screen.
