As you are signing in for the first time, you are automatically required to change the default account password.
On the Change Password screen, enter the existing password (mentioned earlier), then set a new password for the user account, and then click Save.
Refer to the Veritas NetBackup Flex Scale Administrator's Guide for more information about NetBackup Flex Scale user management.
Before upgrading, ensure that the password for the maintenance account and for users with the Appliance administrator role does not expire within seven days. If the password expires within seven days for any of these users, change the password before you start the upgrade; else the pre-upgrade check fails and you cannot proceed with the upgrade.
