FAQ: I need to log into the Window/Mac Operating System first before I can access the laptop. Otherwise the anti-theft software will not be triggered without internet connection. How do I work around it?

If you are using Windows/Mac authentication for login, you can setup a dummy account (with administrative privileges). Do not put any password in that account.

Install Phoenix and configure the settings in that account. This will allow the thief to login to the system without any windows based authentication. Once the thief is logged into the dummy account, Phoenix will be triggered.
