5. Personalize your WD Sentinel server:
a. The WD Sentinel server has a default name of WDSENTINEL. Enter a unique name
for your WD Sentinel server, for example, Company-Name (must contain 1-12
characters; may be upper case, lower case, numeric, or a combination; may include
hyphens but no spaces or special characters).
b. Enter and confirm a password (must be at least 8 characters long and contain at
least three of the following categories: uppercase letters, lowercase letters,
numbers, and symbols; spaces are allowed.) This is the Administrator password.
You will use it later to connect the client computers to your WD Sentinel server and
to access the Administration Dashboard.
c. Enter a hint to remind you of the password.
WARNING!
THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU CAN NAME YOUR WD SENTINEL
SERVER. You must assign it a unique name to avoid naming
conflicts should you ever have more than one WD Sentinel server
on the network.
WARNING!
If you forget the Administrator password, it may not be possible to
recover it, and you could potentially lose all of your data. Make sure
to record the password and keep it in a safe location.
