How to change the administrator username and password

The HP Media Vault does not come pre-set with an administrator username and password, which means that anyone on your network can work as “administrator.” This simplifies getting started, but the lack of an administrator username and password also gives access to all your folders and files by every network users. To make the data stored on your media vault more secure, you can assign an administrator username and password.

To access the User Settings screen:

• Double-click the HP Media Vault icon on your desktop.
• Click Customize your HP Media Vault’s setting.
• If the Welcome Screen appears, click Configure Device.
• Click the User Settings tab.

To change the administrator username and password:

In Administrator Settings, complete the following:

1. Enter a username in the Administrator Username box.
2. Enter a password in the Password box.
3. Re-enter the password in the Confirm Password box.
4. Click Accept or Cancel. (If you click Cancel, the username and password will not be accepted.)
