Creating Individual User Accounts

If family members want to access information on your home network from an

Internet café, coffee shop, or other location outside of your home, they need

individual user accounts with strong passwords. At least one individual user

account with a strong password is also required to create a Webshare

Manager and to set up HP Photo Webshare. For additional information, see

Task 4 of 6: Configure your HP Photo Webshare on page 2-17

.

Figure 9: Step 2 of 6: Create User Accounts, Creating Individual User Accounts

Important: When you create user accounts on the server, use logon names

and passwords that match the logon names and passwords of existing user

accounts on your home computers. Creating matching user accounts enables

family members to automatically log on to the server when they log on to their

home computer.
If the user accounts and passwords do not match, you will be prompted to

type a user name and password when you open the server’s shared folders.

If your computer does not have a password or if the computer uses a factory

default user name, you can change these parameters to eliminate the need to

enter your user name and password when you access a shared folder.
