How do I find my Windows user name?
You can determine your Windows user name in two ways.
Method 1
- While sitting at the computer that you want to be able to access, press and hold the Windows key and press the letter R on your keyboard. The Run dialog box is displayed.
- In the box, type cmd and press Enter. The command prompt window will appear.
- Type whoami and press Enter.
Your current user name will be displayed.
Important: When you are on a computer domain, the domain name is also part of your user name. In the example above, the user name is 3amlabs/kirtes, where 3amlabs is the computer domain of the user.
Method 2
- Physically go to the computer that you want to be able to access, or ask someone who is present at that computer to perform the following steps.
Tip: In some cases, you may need to ask for help from the person who manages the host at your organization.
- Open LogMeIn Control Panel, and go to the Options page. Your user name is displayed in the Username and Password section.
Important: LogMeIn Control Panel cannot identify whether you are on a computer domain. To remotely access a host that is on a domain, you must type the domain name as part of your user name. For example, if you are on a computer domain, called mynetwork and your Windows user name on the host is jsmith, then your full user name that you use to access the host is mynetwork/jsmith.
