The LS-XL doesn't have a way to reset the admin password externally. Without an administrator account you can log in with, you're stuck.
Sorry for the bad news.

Booting it into emergency mode and debugging the firmware (selecting "delete user config") will reset the password.

Hi Davo, I'm in the same situation, but can't find out how to boot my NAS in to emergency mode so that I can then debug the firmware and reset the password. Can you help? Thanks!
