Logging On
What you see, initially, when you turn on or reboot a thin client, depends on the
administrator configurations. After creating users (see "Managing Users and Groups with
User Accounts"), administrators can configure a user account to logon automatically (see
"Enabling and Disabling Automatic Logon Using Winlog") or require manual logon with
user credentials.
CAUTION: It is recommended that all default passwords be changed on all thin clients (be
sure to remember any new administrator password, as you will not be able to log on as an
administrator without it). Only administrators can log on to a thin client and change
passwords by using the CTRL+ALT+DEL key combination to open the Windows Security
window, clicking Change a Password, and then using the Change a Password dialog
box. Be sure to disable the File Based Write Filter before you change a password on the
thin client, and then enable the File Based Write Filter after your change as described in
"Working with the File Based Write Filter Utility."
Automatic Logon
For security, automatic logon to a User desktop is enabled on the thin client by default
(and is a member of the User group; not a member of the Administrator group).
TIP: After automatic logon to a User desktop, AutoPlay for USB devices is disabled by
default. To enable AutoPlay for a USB device, select the USB device you want in the
Devices and Printers dialog box (Start > Control Panel > Devices and Printers) and
click AutoPlay.
To log on as a different user or an administrator:
1. Use the Log off button (Start > Log off) to log off the current desktop while holding
down the SHIFT key until the Log On window displays.
2. Log on as follows (passwords are case sensitive):
• Administrators - default Username is administrator and default Password is
Wyse#123.
• Users - default Username is user and default Password is Wyse#123.
TIP: As an administrator, you can use Winlog to configure your thin client to start with the
Log On window so that you can simply log on as an administrator (see "Enabling and
Disabling Automatic Logon Using Winlog").
Manual Logon
If automatic logon is not enabled, the Log On window displays upon thin client startup.
Log on as follows (passwords are case sensitive):
• Administrators - default Username is administrator and default Password is
Wyse#123.
• Users - default Username is user and default Password is Wyse#123.
