LogMeIn - Windows username/password

~J~ · 12 Jul 2009 at 23:29

n00bish question here:

Have just installed LetMeIn on my PC for some RDP tomorrow and got a friend to test it.

But when it asks for the "Windows" username and password, it's saying it's wrong.

It 'is' the Username/Password I physically use to login into my Windows isn't it? Or is this set somewhere else within LogMeIn?

LogMeIn credentials @ Log me In Page
Windows credentials you log into your PC with next.

That's exactly what I thought but it's just not letting him in.

Not a blank password is it?

~J~ · 12 Jul 2009 at 23:36

no not a blank one, and besides I get an error if I use a blank password (Logmein) saying it doesn't allow them.

sorted.

Have to put my PC name in then a back slash then username. How weird.

Thanks anyway folks.

For future reference that's actually quite normal, for example:

COMPUTERNAME\Administrator will log you into the local administrator account and DOMAIN\Administrator will log you in as domain admin on the same computer.
