Cannot log in to Windows after Config 16 LAC/E is reimaged - WKB54386
Article number: 54386
SYMPTOMS

- After reimaging the LAC/E using the supplied media, the Waters serial number no longer worked as the password; could not log in to Windows
ENVIRONMENT
- Configuration 16 LAC/E

CAUSE
After reimaging the PC, the password is set to the Dell serial number (aka Service Tag). This tag can be found on the Dell sticker on the box, or from the BIOS where it states "Dell Service Tag".
FIX or WORKAROUND
Enter the Dell Service Tag as the password (using ALL CAPS).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
LAC/Es are built the same way, but the password is changed to the Waters serial number before shipping to the customer.
