Modifying The Administrator's Password - Planet NAS-7450 User Manual

3.5 Modifying the Administrator's Password

"Admin" is a built-in user account for the administrator. It is like the "root" account in UNIX or
the "administrator" account in Windows 2000 or XP. Using this account, users have access to
the administration homepage and all the storage resources. By default, the password for this
user account is empty. To prevent security vulnerability, it is strongly suggested to specify the
password when performing the first-time setup of the NAS server.
To specify or modify the administrator's password, please select the "Server → Password"
menu on the administration homepage. Input the current admin password in the "Old Admin
Password" field, and the new password in the "New Admin Password" and "Confirm Admin
Password" fields. Then click "Apply".
The administrator can delegate the administrator's privilege to other users by including them
into the Admins built-in group. Please select the "Security → Account" menu. Select "Admins*"
in the "Local User/Group" window and click "Property". Specify the users to have the privilege
and click "Apply".
