How to use LAPS

In order to get the local password from the device PWPSD IT staff will need the hostname. Instructions are included in this article: hostname instructions. Note that there is a limited time window for these passwords, and if that window has passed they will no longer work. Once you have the passwords, from a PWPSD IT Staff member, the below will get you signed on.

Username:

.\administrator

Password:

%frompwpsdIT%

Note: The .\ (dot + backslash) is very important and the password indicated above is NOT the password to use. You will get that directly from a PWPSD Staff member.

If done correctly, you will see the domain change from PWSB33 to the computer’s local name.
