Do this first and then the second part.


Change Administrator Password
The first time your machine starts you will see the login screen with the Administrator account already entered. Enter cci and press OK to login to Windows. When Windows is done starting up and you are looking at the desktop, follow these instructions to change the Administrator password.

Press CTRL + ALT + DEL at the same time. Then use your mouse to click on Change Password .

On the next screen type cci in the old password field and enter a new password in the following two fields. Your new password must meet the following minimum requirements:

Not contain all or part of your account name (in this case Administrator)

Be at least six characters in length

Contain characters from three of the following four categories:

English uppercase characters (A through Z)

English lowercase characters (a through z)

Base 10 digits (0 through 9)

Nonalphanumeric characters (e.g., !, $, #, %)

A dialog box should say, "Your password has been changed." Press OK .

Press Cancel from the Windows Security dialog box.



Create A Second User Account
Use the account you are about to create for all ordinary purposes. The Administrator account should only be used as a backup in case you have problems with the account you create using the following directions.

Click once on the Start button on the bottom right corner of your computer screen, and then select Control Panels .

From the Control Panels window select Users Accounts .

In the User Accounts window select Create a new account .

Type your ONYEN in the text box that appears with a flashing cursor in it.

Select the radio button next to Computer administrator .

Select the Create Account button.

Double-click on the icon next to the name of the account you just created.

Select Create a password .

Type in your ONYEN password in the first text box.

Confirm this password in the second text box by typing your ONYEN password again.

Enter a password hint in the third text box. See Creating a good password hint for help with this.

Note: Do not type your password here! Anyone can read your password hint.

Select the Create Password button.

Close the User Accounts window and the Control Panels window.

Press the CTRL + ALT + DEL keys simultaneously.

Select Log Off .

Select Log Off again.

Log in with your ONYEN and password.
