first time standalone cifs server login failed

i created via celerra manager standalone cifs server and added share to it, but nobody cant access it via workgroup (there is no domain)

in manual about cifs said use "net use \\ip user:administrator", type password and will be fine to configure via computer management. But when i type password in cmd, it said user password must be change on first time... how to change administrator password on standalone cifs server?????

    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

    VDM doesn't matter - just the CIFS server

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

    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
