Micro-PWC CONFIGURATION GUIDE
System Configuration 63
To change a password, login on the system and from the System Window, select Menu > Configure >
Security > Change Password. The Change Password window (
Figure 2-35 ) appears.
1. Enter a valid user name in the Login entry box, then press R ETURN .
2. Enter the password in the Password entry box, then press
R ETURN . Note that the password will
not be displayed on the screen, for security reasons. For most users, this is their own user
name and password, although it is possible for a user with a higher Access Level to change
the password of a user with a lower Access Level. Note that the user is forced to prove
possession of the original password before it can be changed.
3. Enter the New Password in the appropriate text entry box, then press
R ETURN .
4. Enter the new password in the Verify Password entry box. Because the passwords do not
appear on the screen, this step is essential to make sure that there were no typing mistakes
when the new password was entered. After the new password is typed in Verify Password,
press
R ETURN to complete the operation.
If the new password and the verification entry match, the new password is accepted and the
Change Password window is removed from the screen. If they do not match, a window
advises the user to try again.
2.10.7 Auto-Login
The Micro-PWC software provides an auto-login feature which eliminates the need to login to the Windows
software and the Micro-PWC software separately.
When the Micro-PWC software is started, the login name of the current Windows user is compared to the
user login names found in the Micro-PWC configuration. If a match is found, that user will automatically be
logged into the Micro-PWC. All of the Function Access Levels and other parameters (e.g., login context)
configured for that user will be applied, just as if the user had logged in manually.
To take advantage of this feature, configure a Micro-PWC user login with a user name (see Section
2.10.5.1.1, User Name ) identical to a Windows user name.
For information on how to configure user login accounts on the Windows operating system, see the Win-
dows documentation provided with the system.

✎ Note
While the Micro-PWC software is case sensitive, the Windows
software is not. To avoid unpredictable and undesirable results
when the auto-login feature runs, do not configure multiple
Micro-PWC user login names that differ only in the case of the
letters used. For example, if a user named “Bob” exists, do not
configure another user named “bob”.
