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.
