OS6 user password change
I've just bought a ReadyNAS 316 (RN316662E) for my company and I can't see where local users set their own passwords - is there nowhere that this can be done?

Yes, that it is.
Actually, when a new account created, and if you set an email box for the account, the email box will receive a welcome mail like this:
Congratulations! You have been given access to network storage space on nas-BF-10-5E. Your login and initial password are set to the following:
User name: an
Password: 1
To access the files from Windows, type \\nas-BF-10-5E in the Explorer Address bar.
You can change your password at 'https://nas-BF-10-5E/password_recovery/my_password.html'.
You can just use this url: https://NAS_IP(or host name)/password_recovery/my_password.html.
