reset password of HS-DHTGL/R5

[memo73]

   

I have buffalo tera station HS-DH 1.0 TGL/R5 but I forgot the password of the admin user, Some I'm unable to upgrade the firmware or configure the station.

Kindly advice the procedure for reseting the password of HS-DHTGL/R5

Thanks

The back of the unit has a Reset button (little red button in the top right hand corner). Press and hold for about 5-10 seconds.

 

If this does not reset the PWD then you may have told the unit to not reset the Admin PWD when being reset, this would be done for security reasons.

HS-DHTGL does not have a little red button on the back in the upper right hand corner. 

 

I was told to reinitialize the device to correct a small problem related to pCast. So I took out my gun and blew away all the settings, and was setting about reconfiguring the device.

 

 

I reset the IP address to a static IP on the LAN, reboot, and then the admin password was no longer compatible and would no longer allow me to login using the very same password I had just used and two prior logout cycles.

 

I can no longer access the NAS to set it up, nor can I now retreive any of my files.

 

I am pretty frustrated. Once I get my files off of this device, I am going to donate it to someone who I wish to exact revenge upon. I certainly would not want to sell it, since the buyer would seek me out and egg my house!

 

That is how poorly designed this system is.

Update: I logged in with

username admin 

password: password

 

Previously, I was manually typing

username admin 

password: admin

 

and it logged in.

 

This makes no sense whatsoever.
