Barracuda Enterprise IM Server - Quick Start Guide
5. After applying the firmware, Barracuda Networks recommends logging in to
the Web interface again and reading the Release Notes to learn about
enhancements and new features. It’s also a good practice to verify settings,
as new features may have been included with the firmware update.
Change the Administrator Password
To avoid unauthorized use, we recommend you change the default administrator
password to a more secure password. You can only change the administrator
password for the Web interface. You cannot change the password for the
Administrative Console, but this is only accessible via the keyboard which you
can disconnect at any time.
1. Go
to
User
Account View,
under the
Administrators Actions
column,
select the
Password
link.
2. Enter your old and new passwords.
3. Click
Save Password

Activation page and complete activation of your subscriptions.
