From the FrontView main menu, select Security > User & Group Accounts.

Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
To change a password as a user:
1. 
Using a web browser, go to http://<NAS_IP_address>/shares.
Note that <NAS_IP_address> is the IP address of the ReadyNAS system.
For example, if the IP address is 10.1.10.102, enter http://10.1.10.102/shares/.
2. 
If asked, log in with your user name and password.

Enter the current password, and then enter the new password twice.

Customize Private Home Shares
If you want to use only public shares, you can disable private home shares. And if you use 
private home shares, you can control how to access them, where they are created, whether 
to use the Recycle Bin from network-attached devices that support the CIFS file-sharing 
protocol, and when to warn users about disk quotas.
Disable Private Home Shares
If you want to use users and groups to control access to public shares, but you do not want to 
use private home shares, you can prevent users from accessing their private home shares. 
To prevent users from accessing home shares:
1. 
From the FrontView main menu, select Security > User & Group Accounts.
2. 
From the drop-down list at the top of the screen, select Preferences.
