Logging on for the first time after system restore
This section is applicable only for Windows operating system.
After the system is restored, a local administrator login is required to complete the DSR changes. The bmrcleanup utility runs and displays a status box that describes the actions being performed.
While the status box is visible, Windows may display a number of New Hardware Found Wizards.
To logon for the first time after system restore, perform the following actions, depending on which wizard or message screen appears:
In the Digital Signature Not Found panel, click or .
In the Found New Hardware Wizard panel, click .
In the New drivers are installed, do you want to reboot? panel, click .
Note:
Do not reboot the system until the bmrcleanup status box completes.
