GRRRRRRRR... it still not changed... how to change first time password under vista??????????

CTRL-ALT-DELETE

Take a look at page 70 of the manual.

Change the password for the local Administrator account
Before you can administer local users and groups on the stand-alone CIFS server or local
users enabled domain CIFS Server, you must change the password. For Windows Server
clients, the password for a stand-alone server cannot be changed from a machine that is
joined to a domain. Create a stand-alone CIFS server on page 59 provides procedural
information.
Step Action
To change the password of the local Administrator account, log in to a Windows client and press Ctrl + Alt
+ Delete.
1.
2. Click Change Password. The Change Password dialog box appears.
3. Fill in the fields as follows:
a. In the username field, type Administrator.
b. In the Log on to field, type the name or IP address of the CIFS server.
c. In the Old Password field, type the original Administrator account password you typed when you
enabled local users support.
d. In the New Password and Confirm New Password fields, type the new password for the
local Administrator account.

you first *have* to change the Administrator password before you can do anything else including running mmc

after that it usually helps to first manually map a network drive like C$ to a drive letter using the CIFS local Adminstrators account/password to establish a security context

then run mmc or user manager

How about changing Administrator Password in Windows 2008 system - whare there is no "login to" field.

I tried \Administrator and Administrator@ but it complains can't find .

I am using standalone CIFS server on VDM - i have edited the hosts file on windows 2008 R2 box and can ping as well.

I am using VNX7500...

Need help?

See the knowledgebase

There is also a Windows CLI net user

VDM doesn't matter - just the CIFS server

CIFS server login administrator account where is the located?(vnx or window client side)

As with any CIFS standalone server local user/groups are kept on the local machine – in this case the VNX

i was created cifs server on VDM and created shares.am using windows 8.1.so i cant acces created shares.i saw the article "need to change administrator password firs time."after ctrl+alt+del press and tried to change passwd.but its not change.so how to fix this issue?

Try again from a client that is in the same subnet as the CIFS server

It does work when used and configured correctly

Look at the following thread on ECN on changing the administrator's password for a Standalone CIFS server

https://community.emc.com/message/919818#919818

You might need to change the CIFS param nullSession before changing the password and then change it back once you're done

cifs server vlan1 and my pc vlan2.but connectivity ok.this one reason to reset password?

same vlan.but not working.

cifs-svr ip\Administrator    

old password

new password

password confirm

This steps did but acces denied

Make sure you use the same password that you specified when you created the standalone CIFS server via UniSphere as the old password

If this doesn’t work I suggest to search this forum and the knowledgebase for alternatives

Or open a service request with EMC support or your service partner
