After a new Sage 100 installation, the setup process creates the Administrator user. The installer sets the Administrator password during installation.
Cause
A new Sage 100 installation doesn't provide access to standard application tasks until you create roles and users.
Resolution
Install Workstation Setup
Before users can access Sage 100, install Workstation Setup on each Windows workstation.
Install Workstation Setup on all Windows workstations that access Sage 100.
For Sage 100 Standard, you don't need to run Workstation Setup on the server.
For Sage 100 Advanced and Premium, run Workstation Setup on the server.
Sign in as Administrator
Open the Sage 100 shortcut from the Windows desktop or Start menu.
Sign in as Administrator.
Enter the password that the installer created during installation.
NOTE:
The Administrator account accesses Administrative Tools only. It doesn't access standard Sage 100 tasks.

Company Maintenance: Create and manage companies.
Role Maintenance: Configure user security permissions.
User Maintenance: Create users and assign roles.
System Configuration: Configure system-wide settings.
Administrator Password: Change the Administrator password.
