3 Add a user name, a password, and other settings for the account. Then click OK.
4 Click OK and then Save Changes.
For more information, see Administrator account settings.

1 Go to Accounts | Administrator accounts.
2 Under Internal Administrator Accounts, select an account and click Edit. The Edit Administrator
window opens.

names.
3 Edit the settings of the account as needed.
