TeamViewer allows PayGo IT to remotely access your computer whenever you need assistance, even if you’re not there.

On that machine you can set up a custom password (unattended access). Once TV is running on the acer all you need it its TV user ID and passord.

Set Up Unattended Access
Manual access to the remote computer requires you and your friend or family member to launch TeamViewer at the same time. In the process, a random password is generated on the remote computer for use during the session, which you must enter into your login screen. (You can set this to be from 4 to 10 characters in length.) This default is very good for security reasons: no one can access the remote computer if it’s unattended. This requirement is slightly eased once you create your TeamViewer account and pin the Partner to it. All you do then is double-click the online computer in the My Computers list—but your partner is still required to manually launch TeamViewer for it to show up as “online.”
However, TeamViewer also allows you to set up the remote computer for unattended access, which will start TeamViewer upon booting that computer, so you don’t need your partner’s assistance during the session. If you set this up, you can take other security measures to protect the computer; these are described below.

If the remote computer has booted up, all you need to do now is log into your TeamViewer account, double-click the partner in the My Computers list, and you have remote access to the computer.
