IT Assistant displays the Login dialog box whenever you initiate a management action on a system for the first time during a session, regardless of whether the system is a server or a desktop. If the system is a desktop, this is the user name and password set up in the system BIOS. If no user name and password are configured or enabled in BIOS, then the User Name field displays BIOS Password; entering a blank password enables you to edit the system properties. The interface permits you to use a single uniform login to the user interface session. You can use the same login information for multiple systems by clicking the checkbox in the Login dialog box. If the login information is incorrect for a particular system, you are prompted with a Login dialog box again.
