Well make sure that: If you dont want to install Teamviewer as a service, but still want someone to connect and they are seeing that error, so they cant control your PC (yet you want them to control it). NOTE: You will notice that a person can login to the Teamviewer session via the Personal Password and also the Random Password (which you see on the front Teamviewer screen.) Solution 2: Working around that error Then make sure the “ Password Strength” is set to “ Secure (6 characters)“. Then change to the “ Security” Tab and make sure you set the password to something secure. In the “ General” Tab make sure that “S tart TeamViewer with Windows” is checked. Open up Teamviewer and go to “ Extras” menu and hit “ Options“. ![]() – dont make a teamviewer account at this time (optional – if you make one it will still install teamviewer as a service) Setting up Teamviewer as service If its already installed So just remember to install it with the following options: Note that if you do not login with your Teamviewer username and password you can still add a PCs id and secure/unattended access password to your PC list. Using username and password (teamviewer account password – not one of the random or unattended access password) will just make it so you dont have to keep track of the 9 digit IDs – it will add the ID to your Teamviewer PC list – from all of the PCs where you logged in with your username and password. Also if it asks, whether you want to login using your Teamviewer username and password, if you dont want to login, thats fine Teamviewer will still run – just select you dont want to make an account at this time, if you dont want to login or dont want to create an account at this time. When you setup unattended access, the random generated password will be more complex (instead of the typical 4 digit number, it will be a 6 char – with lowercase letters and numbers). You will be able to login to your PC with the generated 9 digit unique ID, and using the unattended password (or you can also use the random generated password). It will then ask you to set an unattended password for your installation. Also if you have a chance to enable “ advanced” setup options during your installation, do so. Start the install (dont use QuickSupport as those dont run as a service, but use the regular version), it will ask if you want to install it as “ unattended access” or two other options, make sure that “unattended access” is checked on.
