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”.
