Getting Started
This concludes the first-time use operation guidelines.
Information for Windows XP
Depending on the Windows settings, installed applications, and drivers, menus and other
displays may differ, or some functions (such as use of the password reset disk) may be
inoperable.
You can select Classic view for the Control Panel or select the Classic Start menu. You can
also change the way a user logs on or off.
The procedure in this manual uses the method of the Windows XP default setting (not Clas-
sic Start menu etc.).
Resetting the password
Windows XP has a function to reset a forgotten password.
To use this function, you need to create a password reset disk beforehand following the steps
below.
1 Select [Start] - [Control Panel] - [User Accounts].
2 Select [Prevent a forgotten password] from the [Related Tasks] menu of the account you
have logged on to and create a password reset disk following the on-screen instructions.
Store the password reset disk in a safe place.
• Only the logon password for each account can be reset.
The password set in the Setup Utility cannot be reset.
9 Windows XP
Create a new account.
CAUTION
Remember this password! If the password is forgotten, Windows cannot be oper-
ated. You can create a password reset disk beforehand ( below).
When creating a new user account:
• If you make mail settings, create password reset disks ( below), or conduct other
related operations before creating the user account, you will be unable to use any
previous mail history or settings.
• When you create the first new account, you can only select [Computer administrator].
Once a “Computer Administrator” account has been created, you can create additional
limited user accounts.
Note also that only the added user account will be displayed in the Welcome screen.
The account for the administrator created during Windows setup will not be displayed.
If you use the wireless LAN, be sure to refer to the Reference Manual’s “Wireless
LAN”.
