Windows XP Embedded includes several components for managing user account names, groups, and passwords.
- The Administrator Account component allows you to specify the password for the local Administrator account. You can only include one Administrator Account component in your configuration.
- The User Account component allows you to specify the user name, group, and password for a local user account. You must add a separate User Account component for each user in your configuration.
- Additional components are required if you want to provide end-user access to account settings, passwords, and display names in User Accounts in Control Panel.
If you do not add the Administrator Account component, the run-time image is created with a single user account with full administrative privileges. The account name is Administrator and the password is blank.
