selected device OR to override global credentials and use a specific account name and password
for the selected device.
1. In the tree view, right-click a device and select Credentials .
The Remote Target Credentials dialog box opens.
2. Proceed as follows:
• If you previously applied credentials to the device that were different than the global credentials
and now you want to apply the global device type credentials, select
Use Global Credentials .
• If you want to apply credentials to the device that are different than the device-type credentials,
select
Override Global Credentials .
The Set Device Logon Credentials dialog box opens.
3. Enter the user name and password for the device and click OK . To test the credentials, right-click
on the device and choose Remote Desktop to start a session to the device.
Changing passwords on Windows 7
Use the proper Windows operating system procedure to change a password as instructed in this
topic. Failure to do so causes subsequent problems in the SiteConfig application and when doing
other configuration tasks. Do not use Computer | Manage and set the password for Local Users and
Groups. Do not attempt to change the password on an account that is not your currently logged in
account.
1. Ensure that you are logged in to the Windows operating system with the account for which you
are changing the password.
2. In the Windows operating system Control Panel , open User Accounts .
3. Select the account (your currently logged in account) for which you are changing the password.
4. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete .
5. Select Change a Password .
6. When prompted, enter the existing (current) password and the new password.
