Changing Default Passwords

 

To see the default passwords shipped with SoftNAS Cloud®, consult the Default Passwords Table in the Accessing SoftNAS StorageCenter section of this guide.

 

Security best practices encourage changing these passwords to unique, secure passwords in order to increase the security of important data managed by SoftNAS Cloud®.

 

To change the login password:

 

1. Log on to SoftNAS StorageCenter.

 

2. In the Storage Administration Pane (on the left), select the Change Password option under Settings.

 

The Change Password panel will be displayed.

 

3. Select the user whose password is to be changed.

 

The Changing Unix User Password section will be displayed.

 

4. Enter the new password in the New Password text entry box.

 

5. Confirm the password by re-entering it in the New Password (Again) text entry box.

 

6. Check "Force User to change password at next login?" to force the user to change the password when he logs on to the system next time. This allows an admin to provide a user a temporary password if he/she has login issues.

 

7. Check "Change password in other modules?" to enforce the change of password in other modules also.

 

8. Click Change.

 

The password of the selected user will now be changed and he/she can now log on to the system with the new password.
