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? ...
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,

Can you create a new user (with a password), and then change the password?
