4.2 Managing user accounts

4.2 Managing user accounts
Overview
During initial commissioning, you must create a local Windows administrator account and
define a password.
You can set up and manage additional Windows user accounts in the Control Panel. To do
that, log on with administrator rights.
Note
Administrator account cannot be recovered
If you have forgotten the password of the administrator account there is no way of recovering
it!
However, after initial commissioning, you can create a file with which you can later assign a
new password. To do that, in the Control Panel under user accounts use the "Create a
password reset disc" command.
