Password Configuration
Password configuration enables the user to change the root password of the system. The root password is not the Unitrends Administrator Interface password; it is the system root password of the underlying RecoveryOS operating system. The root password is case-sensitive.
Changing the root password of the system involves the typical activities:
- The existing root password must correctly entered.
- The new root password must be entered.
- The new root password must be re-entered exactly as it was previously entered.
- The user must confirm that the password is to be changed.
Please note that the root password may be changed only for the "local" system. The "local" system is the Unitrends system on which the user was initially authenticated by logging on via the Unitrends Administrator Interface login screen. This is in contrast to the "remote" system which may be managed and monitored via the Unitrends Administrator Interface but was not the system to which the user initially logged on.
To change passwords associated with Unitrends Administrator Interface user accounts, the user must do so within the "User" configuration subsystem.
