Admin Password
The Admin Password tab allows you to change the admin user password. The admin user is the
only user that can access FrontView and this user has administrative privileges when accessing
shares. Be sure to set a password different from the default password and make sure this password is
kept in a safe place. Anyone who obtains this password can effectively change or erase the data on
the ioSafe R4. The default admin user password is “iosafe1” .
Note
In User or Domain security mode, you can use the admin account to login
to a Windows share, and perform maintenance on any file or folder in that
share. The admin user also has permission to access all user private home
shares to perform backups.
As a safeguard, you will be requested to enter a password recovery question, the expected answer,
and an email address. If, in the future, you forget the password, you can go to
https:// ip_address /password_recovery. Successfully answering the questions there will reset the
admin password, and that new password will be sent to the email address you enter in this tab.
