Change a User Password

In a stand-alone environment, you can change the password for the user you created in the Local mode only.

To change the password

1. Click the Users tab in the DSM Properties - Remote Control dialog.
2. Select Local from the Current Security Provider drop-down list.

   The Change User Password dialog appears.

6. Enter the old and new passwords and confirm the new password in the fields provided.
