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. Click 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.
