Password for local account Administrator on CIFS file server on NetApp

areti — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:33:11 GMT

On a NetApp FAS2750, I created a CIFS file server FS06. I made this server a member of our domain (1.jpg). At the same time, a local administrator Administrator was automatically created on FS06. What is the password for this local account Administrator and how can I change its password? You cannot change the password via Windows Computer Management snap-in: Access is denied (2.jpg)

You can change the BUILTIN\Administrator password in the SVM setting page. See attached image.

Hope this help.
