Logging In and Out

To log on to @task, you need a user name and password. If you do not know your user name and password, contact your system administrator. You can also user the forgot username or password function to recover your password.

When you log on to @task for the first time after installing it, you log on to the administrator account that @task automatically creates during the install process. The account uses a default user name and password:

User Name: admin

Password: user

You should change the password immediately upon logging in for the first time.

SeeChanging Your Password

In order to open @task, you need to have an Internet browser installed on your computer. You need to point your Web browser to the URL of your @task instance in order to log on. Your system administrator should know this information. Figure 2.1 shows a login screen.
