Changing your Instant GigaDrive Password
Once the Instant GigaDrive Administrator has given you a valid GigaDrive
user name, you can use the following procedure to change your password.
1. Open up your web browser.
2. In the Address box, enter: HTTP://ip_address/, where ip_address
is the IP Address of the Instant GigaDrive. If you do not know the
GigaDrive's IP Address, ask the GigaDrive administrator.
3. You will be prompted for your name and
password. Enter them.
4. On the next screen, type what you would
like your new password to be.
5. Click Save, and then close your browser.
Your password has been changed.
Password Management
You can configure your PC to work with only one password the password
you use to log onto the network at startup. To do this requires that the User
Name and Password be the same on Windows, the Instant GigaDrive, and on
any other network server you may be accessing. Only the Network
Administrator can create and modify user names.
