Launching the Device Initialization Tool

  1. From the Windows Start menu, go to Programs, and then click Device Initialization Tool.

    If you are not using the default credentials (InitToolAdmin/InitToolAdmin) and it is the first time that you launch the tool, you are prompted to complete the ODBC authentication.

    Note: Select the Save user ID option to avoid being prompted in the future.

  1. Enter the required credentials and click OK:

    • For Microsoft Access deployments – by default, you are not prompted to authenticate. However, if you secured the database with a password, enter INITTOOLADMIN as the User ID and the password that you set.

    • For Oracle database deployments – enter INITTOOLADMIN as the User ID and the custom Password (that you manually edited in the script in the section Setting Up an Oracle Database).

    • For SQL Server deployments – enter the custom username and password that you set when you created the database in the prerequisites in the section Setting Up an SQL Server Database.
  1. The Device Initialization Tool prompt to create the first administrator account is displayed to confirm that you set up the databases correctly.

  1. Click OK.
