2On the Tools menu, click Appliance User > Modify User.

3In the Modify User Credentials window, enter the name of the user that you wish to modify.

4Enter the common name, if applicable.

5Enter the new password for the user, and then reenter it to confirm.

Deleting ETEP Users

You can delete an appliance user on a single appliance or on a group of appliances. The user is removed immediately upon completing the procedure below.

The ETEP prevents you from deleting the default Administrator account (admin/admin) until you have established an alternate Administrator account. It also prevents you from deleting the only remaining Administrator account on the appliance.

CAUTION

We recommend that you store your passwords in a safe place. If you are unable to log in to the ETEP with a valid Administrator user name and password, the ETEP must be returned to the factory to be reset.
