This topic provides information about the built-in user accounts that are present on the test set when it is shipped from the factory and details about creating your own user accounts.
The Administrator account allows full access to the test set. Using the Administrator account, you can do the following:
Install programs.
Configure network and printer access.
Access all files on the test set.
Add or change user accounts and passwords.
Transport licences.
Change Windows settings. For important information on the Windows settings that can and cannot be changed, see Changing Windows Settings.
When the test set is first turned On, the Administrator account is the one that you use by default to log on to, and log off from Windows XP. The initial password set for this account is “agilent4u”.

The AgilentOnly account has administrator privileges. This account has been created by Agilent for customer support purposes so you are not able to access it. You must ensure that this account is not deleted. |
The Guest account allows anyone to type in any name, without a password, and gain limited access to the test set's files. This account is created by Windows and cannot be deleted. However, it can be renamed. This account is disabled when the test set is shipped, but it can be enabled if required.
You can create additional user accounts and decide on the level of security granted to any new user accounts you create (for example, administrator, power user, user, backup operators). User names are not case sensitive but passwords are case sensitive.

Windows XP allows you to create a user account with administrator privileges that does not require a password. However, it is highly recommended that you do use a password for any new account created with administrator privileges, otherwise the test set is more vulnerable to viruses. |
There is a script available to allow you to change a user password. It is recommended that you always use this script to change a password rather than using the Windows XP Control Panel.
For user accounts that are a member of the administrators group you must use this script.
For user accounts that are not a member of the administrators group it is recommended that you use this script although it is also possible to use the Windows XP Control Panel.

If you use the Windows XP Control Panel to change a password for a user
that is part of the administrators group not all the necessary files in
the test set are updated and the test set does not behave as expected,
for example the test set will not automatically log on. |
The script is located in the C:\Program Files\Agilent\UserConfigUtilities folder. Double-click the ChangeUserPassword.vbs to run the script.
If you have used the Windows XP Control Panel to change a user password you can resolve most issues by running the ChangeUserPassword.vbs script. However this will not resolve the issue of the My Documents folder being removed if you have used the Agilent Recovery System.
If you require more information on user accounts, see the Windows XP Help and Support Center.
