Change User Passwords - NETGEAR RNDU4000-100NAS Software Manual

Change User Passwords

A user password can be changed by the user to whom the account is assigned, if you
enabled that feature, or it can be changed by the ReadyNAS system administrator. For
security reasons, NETGEAR recommends that users change their passwords on a regular
basis.
