Default Administrator User Name and Password

When logging into the storage server for the first time, you must enter an
administrator user name and password. The default administrator user name
for your storage server is administrator and the default password is
storageserver.

Changing the Administrator Password

1 Click Start→ Administrative Tools→ Computer Management.
2 In the Computer Management window, expand Local Users and Groups

and select Users.

3 In the right window pane, right click Administrator and select Set Password.
4 In the Set Password for Administrator window, click Proceed.
5 Enter and confirm your password in the appropriate fields and click OK.
6 Close the Computer Management window.

Configuring the Network Address for the
Storage Server

If you have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on your
network, you are not required to configure your storage server’s IP address
because DHCP automatically assigns an address to the storage server. If your
network is not configured with a DHCP server, configure the storage server’s
IP address in the Network Configuration window.

To access the Network Configuration window, click Start

→ Settings→

Control Panel

→ Network Configuration.

NOTE:

If you do not have a DHCP server on your network, local keyboard, video,

and mouse are required to complete your storage server configuration.

NOTE:

The Windows Firewall is enabled by default. When you access the remote

system, you may experience issues with connectivity.

See "Configuring the Network Connection" on page 11 for more information.
