Missing password at User Settings

[Flamingo]

Hi,

 

I have a strange issue. I created a new user and specified a password during user creation. When entering the User settings the password field is empty. However when I try to access a share using the new user account I need to use the password I specified during the account creation to access the share. Also with this account I can't enter the web interface. The password is not accepted and using an empty password field isn't working either.

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

The root user is the only one who can access the webUI

Normal behaviour.  The UI assumes that if you're entering in a value there that you're changing the password.  It doesn't pre-populate it with asterisks or anything to dictate that a password already exists.

Thank you both for the answers, much appreciated.
