A window will appear prompting you to set a password for connecting Doceri Remote on the iPad to Doceri Desktop on your computer. Make a note of your username in this window and the password in order to make the connection between Doceri Remote and Doceri Desktop.

Note: The "username" is your user name on your computer. It does not have any relation to the username and password you created at www.doceri.com.

After setting your password, a Doceri hand icon will drop down to the lower right corner of your task bar.

Certain Windows operating systems may place it in a "hidden icons" folder. If the Doceri hand is not visible on your task bar, open the “show hidden icons” folder (small arrow on your task bar) and it should be in there. If you prefer to have the Doceri hand visible on your task bar, simply drag it from the hidden icons folder onto your task bar.
