time machine password reset
Hi i cannot seem to be able to change the passwords for users or time machine even though i am logged in as admin. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance
Welcome to the Community!
The Time Machine password used to login and backup should be different from the User accounts or the Admin account of the ReadyNAS.
The password is set on the Time machine backup setting of the ReadyNAS. Please see this link.
Regarding the User account passwords, it should let you change it when logged in as admin. Also, have you tried this?

Hi Marc.
I can log in as the admin but when i try and change the password on the time machine back up setting section it reverts back to a password that i do not know.
The first link you sent did not open and i cannot reset my user password as i cannot remember the original password.
