# If you need to change the serial number for some reason

D:\Programs\Settings\StartupConsole.xml is the correct file

Windows hostname is also set to serial number. You can change it with cmd and reboot

wmic computersystem where name="%COMPUTERNAME%" call rename name="R2-74-1471"

IF the name on the main webpage still reflects the old serial number change that in Options.

Change the administrator password from the RDP console.
