Chapter 3 Configuration Mode
Desktop Access You can allow or restrict access to the Windows desktop on all terminals. From
the desktop, you can perform system and control panel operations, or run third-
party applications. Terminals with extended features can additionally run viewers,
media players, and launch the web browser. You can allow access temporarily to
perform specific tasks, then disable desktop access to prevent unauthorized
changes.
Typically, a terminal does not allow desktop access unless it has
extended features.
With restricted access, the only way to access the desktop is to first enter a
password. The terminals are shipped from the factory with a default password
and challenge question that we recommend you change:
• Default password = password (case sensitive)
• Default challenge question = What is the opposite of lock?
• Default challenge answer = unlock (case sensitive)
When desktop access is set to allow, you can access the desktop by pressing Exit
from FactoryTalk View ME Station Configuration mode.

TIP All terminals are shipped from factory with desktop access disabled.
TIP Each time you change access from disallow to allow, you are required
to enter a password. The initial default password is ‘password’.
