Linkstation LS400 Series Lost Admin Password and I Can't reset
« on: November 02, 2017, 10:18:59 AM »
hello and HELP!
I need to reset my admin password but none of my variants are working and the reset to defaults is not working either. I have heard of a tool that can help? LSrecovery? Where can I find it.

I have my serial to share if you need. any assistance is appreciated

Initializing with the Function Button
You can also initialize the settings with the function button.
1 Turn off the LinkStation.
2 Turn the LinkStation on while holding down the function button. The function LED will flash white.
3 Press the function button again while the LED is flashing.
4 Initialization will take 5 to 10 minutes. Do not power down the LinkStation while it is initializing and showing
an I23 information message in NAS Navigator2 and with the power LED. When initialization is finished, the
LinkStation will automatically reboot.
Notes:
•    The following settings will be initialized: admin username, admin password, IP address, and Ethernet frame size.
•    To disable initializing username and password, navigate to Management - Restore/Erase - Edit and change "Restore
factory default settings" to "Keep current settings". Be careful with this option! If this is selected and you lose your
admin password, you will not be able to reset it.
