changing password user account ReadyNaS 102

Dear all,

I´d like to change the password of my useraccounts. Now it does not permit me to do so; If I try to change the password, I have to change the user name as well. Is there any solution?

 

regards,

Joop

    Dear Stephen,

    I tried on another computer and then it worked, retried on this computer and it doesn't. So, not completely satisfactory, but still resolved :smileyhappy:.

     

    Best regards,

    What firmware are you running?  Is this a local NAS user account, or is this a ReadyCloud account?

      Hi Stephen,

      thanks for replying,

      I just updated to: 6.8.1

      This is a local NAS user account, not ReadyCloud,

      regards,

      Joop

        I just tried it on my RN526 (also running 6.8.1), and had no problem. I did that from the accounts tab in the web admin ui.
