2.15 Configuring the startup user account

The startup user allows you to access MyID for the first time and complete the setup of your system.

Note: You must set up a password for this account when you first install MyID or you will be unable to access the system. If you are upgrading an existing MyID system and already have a smart card or password user that you can use to access the system, you do not have to configure a startup password. If you do not set a password for the startup user when you install MyID, you can run the utility as a standalone program to configure the startup user account if necessary; see section 8.5, Using GenMaster.

1. Select one of the following options:

   • Create the startup user account with this password – type the new password and confirm it.

   • Do not create a startup user account – do not create a startup user account.

     Important: If you do not create a startup user account on a new system, you cannot access MyID.

   Note: Startup users are intended only for bootstrapping your system, and are not intended for long-term use. See the Passwords for startup users section in the System Security Checklist guide for details.
