+====== Changing the "root" Super User Password ======
+During installation, you had the ability to set a root password.  If you entered a strong password at that time, you do not need to reset it now.  If you entered no password, or a weak password, you should change it to a secure password.  To do this, open your web browser and type in the IP address of the FreeNAS web GUI that you noted down earlier.
+The web GUI will present itself and ask for the login details. Enter the username which is **root** (1) and password (2) which is whatever you decided on at installation and click the “Log In” button (3).

+Now you are logged into FreeNAS. Due to the fact that this is the first login after a fresh install the “Initial Wizard” screen will pop up. I don’t use it but this is my preference. I click the “Exit” button when it appears.

+The first thing Fester does is give the root user a strong password if that has not been done already at installation.  Go to the “Account” page (1) and click on the “Users” button (2).

+Now select the “root” account (1) by clicking on it (it should turn blue when you do) and then click on the “Modify User” button (2).
+{{:fester:8bc86ff92bf99548156bb4d0c1b1f985.png}}
+In the “Password:” text box (1) type in your strong password and then type it in again in the “Password confirmation:” text box (2).

+The maximum password length in FreeNAS is 128 characters.
+Now scroll down and click the “OK” button.

+That’s the root user password changed.
