Ok, so I have a Linkstation EZ LS-L500GL, firmware 1.04 running off my network switch.
I am trying to change the IP address from DHCP to static. Once I have selected my IP address, it then asks for a password. I have tried no password, 'admin', 'password', 'administrator', but these do not work.
I have tried Pauls suggestion as at http://forums.buffalotech.com/buffalo/board/message?board.id=0101&message.id=277&query.id=52541#M277, however this doesn't work as the update program asks for a password, which of course I don't know.
I wish to update the firmware on this, however without the password it will not work, not even ticking the 'force update' box!
What is the password/how can I reset the password?
Thanks.
I have pressed the reset button on the back while the unit was off, and that did nothing.
I pressed it while it was on, and the link LED flashed orange, so I let it do it's thing until the link LED was green again. I tried, but this didn't work either.
Do I need to do something during the orange LED bit? Or is there something else that the reset button does?
OK people, I got it updated.
It wasn't working about 12 hours ago, so I was searching and I found an update to v1.11. This didn't find any NAS that needed firmware updated. I then tried the 2.11 update, and guess what? It worked. There was no password - the password field was left blank.
Brand new box, just plugged it in - I see it on the net with the stupid software that came with the device.
WTF - is the defult password? Does anyone at buffalo know how to write documentation?
Thanks - Answered my own question. For everyone looking through the missing documentation the default user name and password for the LS-L500GL is:
Admin
password
The manual says that but it doesn't work. Also, why does the manual give a default "Username" when there is no place to enter a Username?
