changing password user account ReadyNaS 102

[JoopB]

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 .

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,

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.

Hi Stephen,

that doesn't really help, ....

is there any restriction perhaps to usernames, that previously there wasn't? My usernames are short, like Joop .

They can be short.  Linux user names need to start with a letter, but can also contain digits, -, and _.  They can't contain a space.

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