Note: For more information about device policy settings, see “Appendix: Device policy
settings” on page 19.
Creating the Administrator account
Only the Administrator can perform certain operations on a device, such as adding,
removing, and rescuing users. Memorize or store the Administrator password in a safe
place. Without the password, you cannot change some device settings.
All new or recycled devices have only one Administrator. The user who personalizes the
device determines the Administrator password. For more information, see “Types of
users” on page 12.
Creating the first user
After you create the Administrator account, you are automatically prompted to create a
user and provide authentication credentials, such as enrolling fingers, creating a
password, or both. The authentication method varies according to the device and
profile being used. For more information about adding users, see “Creating a user” on
page 12.
To personalize a device
1 Plug the device into the USB port of the computer.
If Autorun does not start Encrypted USB automatically, double-click the Start.exe
file from the root directory on the read-only partition.
2 If you just recycled the device, under Device Management, click Personalize
Device.
3 On the Device Personalization page, click one of the device profile options.
4 Type the Administrator password in the Enter password and Confirm password
boxes.

information.

the steps the next time you connect the device.
