Is it possible to change the default password on the Carbonite for the FTP login from: “password” to something else?

Hi Tristan,

Which Carbonite Frame are you on? In dashboard you can bring it up in the Status menu and the field Engine type..

Hey Les,

We have a few VMU frames at work that we want to lock down, mainly a Carbonite Black frame but we also have a Carbonite plus that we want to change the default password on as well.

Thanks  
Tristan
