TeamViewer Password

[Gina]

I'm using TeamViewer for LAN connections only - does anyone know if it's possible to use a fixed password, or turn the password off altogether.  My LAN is fully protected from hacking and I don't need a password for TeamViewer.  Furthermore, I want to run a headless mini PC in my observatory, have TeamViewer in the startup group and be able to connect to it over the LAN.  Having a random password set up on starting is a no-no as I would need to have a display to see what it was.  I have searched through menus etc. and can't find any way to have a fixed password or (none at all).

Can you not set a "personal password" in TV i.e one that's fixed and doesn't change?  See this link if this is what you are meaning?

Start TV.

Go to Extras and select Options.

Select Security and set your own password for unattended access

Fwiw it works well. My pond pc (outside under the pump and filter) doesnt have a screen.   The only priblem i used get is the occasional lock up so now it schedules a restart every day

Yes, TeamViewer remote control etc. is working fine now - start-up when booting and fixed password - great

I use teamviewer on a nano PC connected to my pier, it has teamviewer set up on it in server mode, so on my desktop in the house I open teamviewer, and click on connect and it automatically finds my Astro PC, I have a fixed 9 number code, that does not change, and a fixed password, put these in then I am connected to my pier mounted PC, so no monitor needed on that, teamviewer starts up with windows on the pier mounted PC.

it was connected to a monitor the first time to set up, then not since...

not sure if that is any help

Quite a claim nowadays lol

Glad your query is answered - I use TV in just the same way.
