If your host PC is locked, it may require you to unlock it before starting your remote session. Your operating system determines the unlock method. To unlock Windows 2000, 2003, or 2008 use the Send Ctrl+Alt+Del function: • From the Client Viewer Toolbar, click the “Send Ctrl+Alt+Del” button • Unlock your PC as you normally would by entering your network ID and Password. To unlock Windows XP, Vista, and 7: If the screensaver is running, move the mouse to deactivate it. • This displays the logon screen. • Log in to your PC as you normally would.
