Can I Set a Fixed Password for TeamViewer Remote Reboot?

Click For Summary
TeamViewer does not allow users to set a fixed password for remote access, as the changing password feature is a built-in security measure. Users can connect to the remote computer and adjust settings, but rebooting will reset the connection password, preventing future access without the new password. The discussion highlights the challenge of managing remote connections without direct access to the device owner for password retrieval. While there may be configuration options available, the inability to set a permanent password is emphasized as a crucial security feature. Therefore, users should plan accordingly to avoid losing access after a reboot.

My uncle has a computer at home to which I can use TeamViewer to connect from my computer. I would like to reboot his computer and restart TeamViewer too but that will reset the connection password; he is not at home right now and I can't call or ask him for the password for next log-in. Is there any option or way in the Teamviewer software which I can use to turn on or create a fixed password for all future connections ?

At present I can connect to his computer and sure can change any settings but if I reboot it now, I can't make a connection to it again because the password is changed automatically each time the TV is run.


Thank you.

Unless there is a setting in config, I'm guessing it's an important security feature.

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
