Title: Lost password for LinkStation Pro LS-VL 2TB
Post by: JeffCunningham on June 02, 2013, 05:21:29 PM

I reset the password a long time ago and now can't access the LS. NASNavigator2 sees the drive on the wireless network and says it's in "Emergency Mode" (EM55B).

I have searched and found related posts but the software I've seen that will reset the pwd is for Windows computers and I have a Mac.

My son's football film for years are stored on the device. Very greatful for any help retriving those films. Thanks, Jeff

If its in em mode then just download the latest firmware for the linkstation and reinstall it.

Is there a way to install firmware without the device's admin pwd? Could you provide brief instructions?

I suppose this thread will just "go away" as so many others on this forum do.

Is there a way to reset the admin password on an LS-V2.0TL or not? For a Mac user?
