Changing the Default Administrator Password for Dell™ PowerVault™ 735N NAS Appliances

This document describes how to change the Microsoft® Windows® default administrator password for your PowerVault 735N network attached storage (NAS) appliance.

Default Administrator Account Information

The default administrator password for your PowerVault system, in its original configuration, is powervault.

NOTICE: For improved system security, Dell recommends that you change the administrator password after completing the initial configuration of your system.

Changing the Administrator Password

Your system, in its original configuration, has a set of default accounts. Only the administrator account has administrative privileges. By default, the administrator account is set to use the user name administrator, with the password powervault.

You must enter this administrator account information when you connect to the PowerVault NAS Manager in order to have administrator privileges. Leave the Domain field blank unless you are logging on using a domain administrator account. To log on as a domain administrator, enter the domain administrator user name, password, and domain.

NOTE: If an administrator adds a domain account to the local administrators group, the domain user may access and administer the system. However, the administrator cannot use the Change Administrator Password page to change the (domain account) password. This page can only be used to change the local administrator's account password.

NOTICE: Any information you send from the NAS Manager can be viewed by others on the network. To prevent others from seeing your information, use the method explained in “Using Terminal Service Advanced Client to Send Encrypted Password Commands,” found later in this document, to change the administrator password.

To change the administrator password for the system, perform the following steps:

1. Connect to the PowerVault NAS Manager from a supported Web browser and enter the following in the browser address line:

http://systemname:1278

where systemname is Dellservice tag number. The line must appear in a format similar to this:

http://Dell1234567:1278

You also can enter:

http://system_ipaddress:1278

See the System Administrator’s Guide for a list of supported Web browsers.

2. On the primary menu bar, click Network Setup.

3. On the Network Setup page, click Change Administrator Password.

4. Type the current administrator password in the Current password text box.

5. Type the new administrator password in the New password text box.

NOTE: The new administrator password must conform to any password complexity rules in effect for the domain to which the appliance belongs.

6. Type the new administrator password again in the Confirm new password text box.

7. C l i c k OK.

Using Terminal Service Advanced Client to Send Encrypted Password Commands

NOTE: This procedure works only on a Windows client because the Terminal Service Advanced Client only works on Windows operating systems.

This method sends encrypted text across the network to prevent others from seeing your administrator password.

1. Connect to the PowerVault NAS Manager from a supported Web browser using the information in step 1 of the previous procedure.

2. On the primary menu bar, click Maintenance.

3. On the Maintenance page, click Terminal Server Advanced Client.

The login dialog box appears.

4. Type administrator in the user name field, and powervault in the password field.

Leave the Domain field blank unless you are logging on using a domain administrator account. To log on as a domain administrator, enter the domain administrator user name, password and domain.

NOTE: If the NAS appliance is in a domain, the local system administrator can add a domain user to the local administrators group. After this step is completed, the domain user has administrator access to the system. The local administrator can use the Change Administrator Password page to change only the local administrator password, but not the domain user password.

5. From the Advanced Administration Menu, select User Management, found under Administration Tools.

A users window appears.

6. Right-click Administrator and select Set Password from the pop-up menu.

7. Type your new administrator password into the New Password and Confirm Password fields.

8. Click OK.

Your new administrator password is set.
