Thanks a bunch too Dan!!  Been waiting for a way to reset my LS-XH1.5TL's username and password and finally did it with your recovery file. I performed the firmware update after booting on EM mode a few months ago but couldn't see my share folders. Thing was, at the end of  firmware update, I was being asked for the username and password and the default admin/password was not working. Emailed EMEA support but they asked me to contact Japan support instead since I bought my box in Japan. Japan support was meh as they asked me to just replace the box with a new one. Gladly, your recovery file was able to reset the username/password and now I can use my NAS again. wwwweeeeeeeeee

It worked Dan. So thanks for that. Incidentally, I didn't force the debug options on as described in steps in this thread so took a bit of a chance, and it still worked.  

 

It took several reboots before all the configuration items appeared on the Web config page. Not sure why. Also, it appears that my unit goes into a unusable state depending (perhaps randomly) on the Power save timer options. Oh well...

 

But good to get it working again.

Brilliant. So happy this file has been able to help a few of you. I know what it felt like when my Buffalo just went down and I couldn't get access.

Must admit I wasn't comfortable with making this file available for all, in case it made things worse for anyone. But I guess anyone using it was of the mind of "Well it can't BE any worse, so worth a try!" as I was.

 

Just hope Buffalo are watching..

Hi Dan,

 

Your link is expired, and I think i'm right in the situation you explained (after step 1 and 2). Could you be kind enough to reupload the file?

My data is already backed up, and the linkstation is unusable right now, so things can't go worse for me.

 

Thanks !

ok – here it is again.

 

I think I've set it now so it doesn't ever expire, but I'm no techie, so not sure!
