Managing your settings
4.1 Setting up the Parent account
Your computer has two accounts already set up – the Parent account and the Learner
account. The Learner account is the account for any users to use. The Parent account
password should be changed at first use. This is essential to ensure the e-safety of other
users (see section 2.2).
Follow these instructions to change the Parent account password:
1. Click on the Parent account at the login screen.
2. Enter the default password which is xmahaadmin
(please note: this password is case sensitive, so ensure you do not type any
capital letters).
3. Click the Start Icon in the bottom left hand corner of the desktop, and from here
select Control Panel
4. From the Control Panel, select User Accounts and Family Safety (see next page)
