Important: When the PNA power is switched on, it AUTOMATICALLY logs into Windows using the default user name and password. You do NOT need to log on. This gives anyone full access to the analyzer. The following steps can be taken to increase security of your PNA.
Require users to logon when the PNA computer is turned ON - Learn how.
Setup individual accounts on the PNA with varying level of access - Learn how.

The following user accounts already exist on new PNAs.
Default User Account: You are allowed to change the password.
User name (not case sensitive): pna-admin
Password (case sensitive): pna
Limited User Account: This user will not be able to install firmware, or make any changes to system-wide settings in the operating system. You are allowed to delete this account or change the password.
User name (not case sensitive): pna-user
Password (case sensitive): pna
PNA-SERVICE This limited user account is created by Keysight for service purposes. If you delete this account it will be more difficult for Keysight personnel to service your PNA.
You can create as many user accounts as you like.
The PNA local policies are set so that, if logon is required, you must retype the user name (and password) every time. Do not change the local policies on the PNA.
If the analyzer is in a secure environment, you can setup PNA users by name and grant various levels of access.
You can designate a person as the administrator and then configure the PNA to allow others to use it with reduced permissions. That is, other people can be signed on to use the analyzer but they will not have the ability to perform all of the administrative functions that you can as the administrator.
The following are examples of some of the functions that can be performed with these account types:
Administrator - Can download and install firmware. The administrator can modify system-wide settings in the operating system.
Standard User - Can fully use the PNA to make measurements and save state and data files. Standard Users can NOT install firmware.
