Modifying ETEP User Credentials
From the Appliance Manager, you can modify the password or role associated with an ETEP user. You
can update user accounts for a single appliance or for a group of appliances. If strong password
enforcement is enabled on the ETEPs, you can also modify the password expiration settings.
To modify ETEP user credentials:
1 In the Appliance Manager, select the target appliances in the Appliances view.
2On the Tools menu, click Appliance User > Modify User.
3 In the Modify User Credentials window, enter the name of the user that you wish to modify.
4 Enter the common name, if applicable.
5 Enter the new password for the user, and then reenter it to confirm.
6 Change the user’s role, if desired.
7 Modify the password expiration settings, if applicable. See Table 32 for a description.
8Click Apply. The change takes effect on the appliance immediately.

Deleting ETEP Users
You can delete an appliance user on a single appliance or on a group of appliances. The user is removed
immediately upon completing the procedure below.
The ETEP prevents you from deleting the default Administrator account (admin/admin) until you have
established an alternate Administrator account. It also prevents you from deleting the only remaining
Administrator account on the appliance.
CAUTION
We recommend that you store your passwords in a safe place. If you are unable to log in to the ETEP with
a valid Administrator user name and password, the ETEP must be returned to the factory to be reset.
