Hi

I'm working with several HP Compaq t5000 thin clients. They are configured to log on as "user". I cannot figure out how to change to administrator. I want to configure some settings
I've tried Alt-F4 at logon but didn't work

Can somebody help me

Uh...
Try holding left shift pressed at logon to abort autologon.

Have you tried temporarily disabling auto logon in the registry? Using
regedit, locate the subkey
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon, and then set the
AutoAdminLogon value to 0, or delete it.

Can you boot from some external medium, like CD, USB, network, etc.
Copy registry hive files.
Modify them on working Windows XP with offline access.
And then put them back to your device, this will work if you can do it.

Holding down the shift key at logon works for me

Make sure you press it early enough (before "loading personal settings" appears) and hold it until you get the logon prompt. The easiest way is to press and hold immediately after choosing "Log off" from the start menu

If I remember correctly I saw that it is possible to disable shift override,
so it is possible that it wont work for him.

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon],
"IgnoreShiftOveride" dword.

In HP T5000 Series manual it says that to switch to different user you have
to press Alt-F4 during logon. My guess that HP made a change in ms gina or
they have a logon script running.

Funny gadgets, those t5000 clients - and bad documentation.
Anyhow, let the user User log on, log off keeping the shift-key
pressed (this is mentioned in the docu). What is not mentioned - at
least I didn't find it - is the default password for the Administrator
(it is Administrator).
