The S/Key parameter is a service-specific parameter. To edit it, go to Setup > Services tab > select your host name under your account in the FreeDNS branch > click Properties > in Host or Domain Properties, click the Parameters tab > edit the Host ID parameter. You can find this identifier when you log on to your account at the FreeDNS website.
