3.2.1. Switching User

By default, you will be logged in as a guest, and will not therefore
have access to private shares. In order to access protected shares,
you will have to change the login credentials using the LaCie Net-
work Assistant. Follow these steps:

1. Click the LaCie Network Assistant icon in the Task Bar (Win-

dows) or Menu Bar (Mac) and select

Configuration Window...

.

2. Click on the

Volumes

tab and then click the

authentication

but-

ton (

Fig. 21

).

3. When prompted, enter your username and password (

Fig. 22

).

Note that the admin name and password can be changed from
the

Dashboard > Home

page.

4. Click

OK

. Now when you click the LaCie Network Assistant

icon, you should see a listing of shares accessible to the au-
thenticated user.

TECHNICAL NOTE:

Normally you will have created an admin

account during the Setup Wizard. If for whatever reason you did
not complete the Setup Wizard, you can access the default pri-
vate share (

MyShare

) by authenticating as username=

admin

/

password=

admin

.
