3.2.1. Switching User

By default, you will be logged in as a guest, and will not therefore

have access to private shares. In order to access protected shares,

you will have to change the login credentials using the LaCie Net-

work Assistant. Follow these steps:

1. Click the LaCie Network Assistant icon in the Task Bar (Win-

dows) or Menu Bar (Mac) and select Conﬁguration Window....

2. Click on the Volumes tab and then click the authentication but-

ton (Fig. 21).

3. When prompted, enter your username and password (Fig. 22).

Note that the admin name and password can be changed from

the Dashboard > Home page.

4. Click OK. Now when you click the LaCie Network Assistant

icon, you should see a listing of shares accessible to the au-

thenticated user.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Normally you will have created an admin

account during the Setup Wizard. If for whatever reason you did

not complete the Setup Wizard, you can access the default pri-

vate share (MyShare) by authenticating as username=admin /

password=admin.
