Creating Individual User Accounts If family members want to access information on your home network from an Internet café, coffee shop, or other location outside of your home, they need individual user accounts with strong passwords. At least one individual user account with a strong password is also required to create a Webshare Manager and to set up HP Photo Webshare. IMPORTANT: When you create user accounts on the server, use logon names and passwords that match the logon names and passwords of existing user accounts on your home computers. Creating matching user accounts enables family members to automatically log on to the server when they log on to their home computer. If your computer does not have a password or if the computer uses a factory default user name, you can change these parameters • In Windows Vista, click Start, Control Panel, and then User Accounts and Family Safety. • In Windows XP, click Start, Control Panel, and then User Accounts. To create user accounts on the server 1 Click the User Accounts tab at the top of the page. The User Accounts Setup dialog displays. 2 Click Set Policy to force a password strength for all user accounts and click OK. (optional) Using the Assistant 25
