How do I change a User Password (Windows 7 / Windows XPe)?


Thinlabs systems have two default user accounts (user / password),
Administrator / Administrator and User / User, respectively.

Change default passwords prior to deploying systems in the field.

Devices are set to auto-logon to the local User session by default.
If you change the password or create another user, you can set the units to autologon by:

On WES 7 (W7e):

  • From the Start menu search box, search forcmd
  • Right click on cmd.exe and select "Run as Administrator"
  • Type the cmd "control userpasswords2" and press <Enter>.
  • The "User Accounts" applet should open.
  • Uncheck the box "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer" and click <Apply>.
  • When prompted, enter the credentials for the user session that requires to auto logon when unit boots.
  • Commit changes to the EWF using EWF Manager.
    You can also change the autologon setting remotely using Thinlabs Device Manager)
On WES 2009 (XPe):
  • Start Menu | Setup Panel | Utilities | TweakUI
  • Scroll down the menu list on the left, select Auto Logon, and set new login credentials.
  • Commit changes to the EWF using EWF Manager
    (you can also change autologon settings remotely using Thinlabs Device Manager)
