What is the Embedded Controller Default Password? Answer: Keysight4u!

The default password is “Keysight4u!” for the Administrator account for Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB. We recommend that you change the password for improved security, because the default password is public knowledge

Auto Login

Your Embedded Controller Windows default behavior is to automatically login to the Administrator account every time it boots. You do not need to type a password.

Default Administrator Password: Keysight4u!

If your Embedded Controller is running “Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB”, the default Administrator password is: Keysight4u! If your Embedded Controller is running “Windows Embedded Standard 7” (32bit or 64bit), the default Administrator password is not set.

Change Administrator Password

The default Administrator password is public knowledge. Keysight recommends that you change your password for improved security.

How to change your password for “Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB”:

  1. Click the Start button at the bottom left of your screen.
  2. Click Settings from the list to the left.
  3. Select Accounts.
  4. Select Sign‐in options from the menu.
  5. Click on Change under Change your account password.

How to set or change your password for “Windows Embedded Standard 7”:

  2. Type your old password. Leave blank if the password is not set.
  3. Type your new password, and then type the new password again.

Remote Desktop Connection

The standard Microsoft application “Remote Desktop Connection” allows you to remotely login to the Embedded Controller across the LAN from another computer. It only works if the accounts have passwords. Anyone who knows your current Administrator password can change the password. When you change your password you must enter the current password. Because Auto Login is enabled, you might not notice if someone changed the password.

If your Embedded Controller is running “Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSB”, Remote Desktop Connection is enabled by default. Anyone with network access to your Embedded Controller can control your Embedded Controller using the user name of local\Administrator and the publicly known default password of: Keysight4u! For your environment, you must determine if this is a useful feature or a security problem. If it’s a security problem, then change the password or disable Remote Desktop Connection.
