Configuring logon settings IMPORTANT: The write filter must be disabled for any configurations to be made permanent. See Write filters on page 2 for more information. By default, the thin client logs on as a user. An administrator must log on manually. Note the following about using the manual logon method: ● 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 pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del and then clicking Change a password. NOTE: You cannot change the password while logged on as a user. ● Passwords are case sensitive. Alternatively, the thin client can be configured to log on to a specific user account automatically. To configure automatic logon: 1. Click Start > Control Panel > HP Logon Manager. 2. In the Windows Logon Configuration dialog box, check the Enable Autologon box, type the account credentials and domain name, and then click OK. The configured account will be logged on to automatically during system startup. TIP: To log on as a different user or as an administrator when automatic logon is enabled, simply log off the current account to return to the Windows logon screen. Configuring the system date and time settings IMPORTANT: The write filter must be disabled for any configurations to be made permanent. See Write filters on page 2 for more information. You can use the Date and Time utility in the Control Panel to set the system date and time manually or to configure the system to synchronize the date and time with an Internet server periodically. TIP: You can also access this utility by clicking the clock in the Windows notification area and then clicking Change time and date settings or by right-clicking the clock and selecting Adjust date/time from the menu. If you want to configure the system to synchronize the date and time with an Internet server, you will also need to enable the Windows Time service, which is disabled by default. To do this, follow these steps: 1. Click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools. 2. Double-click Services. 3. Double-click the Windows Time service to access its settings. You can start the service manually and configure it start up automatically in the future. 6 Chapter 2 Getting started
