As of version 6, authentication takes place against users and passwords stored in the P5 configuration. Therefore passwords must be set within the P5 administration after an upgrade.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'FS Joey Web Medium', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: 600;\">The new &#8216;admin&#8217; account<\/span><br \/>\n\tIf it doesn&#8217;t already exist, a user named &#8216;admin&#8217; with password &#8216;admin&#8217; is added following an upgrade to version 6. The login screen prompts to use this account initially. New installations also include this &#8216;admin&#8217; user. Logging in as &#8216;admin&#8217; allows creation of new users and groups.<br \/>\n\tChange this default password directly after the update. Within the P5 admin GUI, you can change the password for the current user via the &#8216;P5&#8217; menu &#8211; top right.<br \/>\n\t\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'FS Joey Web Medium', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: 600;\">Passwords for existing users<\/span><br \/>\n\tAll users already created in version 5.x are still available after updating to version 6. Any username previously used to login will have been added to the user list. Passwords for each of these users should be set by double clicking on the user in the list.<br \/>\n\t\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'FS Joey Web Medium', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: 600;\">P5 server-client authentication<\/span><br \/>\n\tSince the new user management is also used for P5 client\/server connections, any P5 clients that your P5 server connects to will also need to have a password set on the client side, and the client connection setting updated on the server.<br \/>\n\tLogin to the P5 admin GUI on each P5 client using the &#8216;admin&#8217; user after upgrade. Select &#8216;Agent Setup&#8217; from the &#8216;P5&#8217; menu and then &#8216;User Preferences&#8217; to the left. Set a password for the user used by the server to connect. Update the client settings on the server to use this new password.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'FS Joey Web Medium', Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: 600;\">2.<\/span>\u00a0From version 6 on, the original owners, groups and access permissions are recovered during restore.
