> Do not change the password for the **distributor_admin** manually. Always use the **sp_changedistributor_password** stored procedure, or the **Distributor Properties** or **Update Replication Passwords** dialog boxes in [!INCLUDE[ssManStudioFull](../../../includes/ssmanstudiofull-md.md)], because password changes are then applied to local publications automatically.

## Snapshot Folder Security
4255
Ensure that the snapshot share has read access granted to the account under which the Merge Agent (for merge replication) or Distribution Agent (for snapshot or transactional replication) runs and write access granted to the account under which the Snapshot Agent runs. For more information about the snapshot folder, see [Secure the Snapshot Folder](../../../relational-databases/replication/security/secure-the-snapshot-folder.md).
