Note To change the computer name after installation is complete, click Start, click My Com-
puter, and then click View System Information. In the System Properties dialog box, click the
Computer Name tab, and then click Change.
Password for Administrator account Specify a password for the Administrator

tor account provides the administrative privileges required to manage the com-
puter. Securely store this password in case you or another administrator at your
organization needs to use it later to access the computer.
Time and date Select the time zone, adjust the date and time settings if necessary,
and determine whether you want Windows XP Professional to automatically
adjust for daylight-savings time.
After you complete this step, the Setup Wizard starts to install the Windows networking
components.
