Password again(!)
« on: April 29, 2009, 11:48:44 AM »
   

I've tried all suggestions on this board for resetting the password and nothing has worked.  Can someone help please?  Here are the details:

 

LinkStation LS-L500GL

Hostname: LS-LGLCA7

Workgroup: WORKGROUP

IP Address: 192.168.0.44

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

MAC Address: 00:16:01:D7:5C:A7

Firmware: 2.01

 

The drive works perfectly for storing files, backups, etc but I cannot set time or anything else requiring a password.  Whenever I try to enter the password, I get "Incorrect Password".

-I've tried all the "default" passwords I could think of and that the QuickStart Guide says to use: password, admin, Password, PASSWORD, -blank-, ...

-I've reset the unit with the Reset Switch.  Tried it by just holding it down for 15 secs while unit is on and also tried turning unit on while holding Reset Switch.

-When I updated the firmware, I just hit Enter at the Password prompt and the firmware update proceeded with no problems.  Even after the update, neither a blank nor "password" work as the password.

 

What am I missing?

 

TIA

Try the force firmware update and checking the "delete user config" option.
