I have a LinkStation
LS-WXL and the admin password -- saved in my browser -- has suddenly stopped working.
I also noticed that it has stopped e-mailing me the daily health check, and is ignoring the sleep timer.
How could this have happened?
Obviously a factory reset will allow me to regain access, but will it wipe all the data?
What will I need to do after the reset in order to restore access to my two users to their data?
The factory reset procedure, described on page 60 of the manual, seems quite complicated:
- Move the power switch to the “OFF” position to shut down the LinkStation.
- Move the power switch to the “ON” position while holding down the function button.
The function button will flash blue for 1 minute - While the function button is flashing blue, press it again.
The status LED will start flashing blue. It will start flashing amber when initialization begins (2-3 minutes).
The manual is written for three products and its coverage of the LS-WXL isn't very good.
Where is the function button?
