Frequently Asked Questions
This is done from the Administration tool bar. Select Catalog and locate the appropriate service under
Network and disable it.
How do I create or change my password?
If you are in a multi-user environment, it is important to create a password for the Admin user before you
start to use HP Data Protector Express Software on a regular basis. You will typically nominate someone
to take the role of Administrator who will also set up user accounts and assign passwords to users. Please
refer to the User's Guide and Technical Reference for information about adding new users and groups.
It is a good idea for users to regularly change their password, particularly if they are working with
sensitive and important data.
1. Open the Administration desk bar.
2. Select Security, then click your User icon.
3. Open the User Password screen by either
•
Selecting Change Password... from the Commands task pane, or
•
Right-clicking the user and selecting Change Password... from the shortcut menu.
4. Type in your old password and then your new password.
5. Confirm your new password and then click OK.
When selecting a password, remember that some passwords are notoriously easy to break. For example,
because many people use their birth date or the name of their spouse, these are not good choices for
passwords.
TIP: The HP Data Protector Express Software administrator can change a user's password without
knowing the user's current password. This is useful when the user has forgotten his or her password.
How do I enable/manage other users?
For the examples in these tutorials we have logged in as Admin and all our jobs are under the
Home/Admin folder. This may be adequate for small organizations, but if you have multiple users with
varied backup requirements, HP Data Protector Express Software allows the Administrator to create and
manage different users and groups of users.
A group is a set of users that are all granted permissions in the same way and at the same time. For
example, the HP Data Protector Express Software administrator may grant permission to read the files on
specific media to users individually, to a group of users or both to users and groups.
