Change Administrator Password
11/07/01 -- Revision 2.0.03A
NOTE
If an administrator adds a domain account to the local administrators group, the domain user may
access and administer the server appliance. However, the administrator cannot use the Change
Administrator Password page to change his domain account password. This page can only be used
to change the local administrator's account password.
When you change the administrator password, there is no explicit confirmation page.
However, the password is successfully changed if no error message appears after you have
submitted the change.
NOTE
You cannot change the administrator password if you are logged on as a domain user as it is outside
the scope of the server appliance Web UI to make changes to domain user accounts, which are
stored on the domain controller, rather than on the server appliance.
In this context, administrator relates to the user account that is a member of the local
administrators group and is used by a current user to log on. It does not refer to the default
administrator account, called administrator.
If you receive the error message “The password cannot be changed for this
domain account
” or “The account name cannot be changed for this
domain account”
when trying to change the administrator password or account name,
you are logged on as a domain user. You must be logged on as the server appliance
administrator to change the administrator password.
To change the administrator account password
1. Log on to the server appliance as Administrator.
2. On the primary navigation bar, choose Network.
3. Choose Administrator.
4. Type the current administrator password in the Current password box.
5. Type the new administrator password in the New password box.
