The EMBA Tablet initiative was designed to help you and your instructors manage all the digital and analog content generated in the course of your studies. Please read and follow the EEPMBA Tablet Initiative-Usage Policy Statement for guidelines and expectations with the use of these devices.

Your Surface Pro is imaged to have an admin and user account; both will have full administrative privileges. To create your password click on the user account, type your chosen password in the new password box, and retype it in the one below. (Ignore the old password box.) Feel free to make your own changes to the device.

Note that the warranty only guarantees the Surface Pro device itself. The Surface Power Supply, Surface Pen and Surface Type Cover are covered by one year warranties.
