Hi, I've updated the firmware recently to 1.81 however in doing so I'm unable to login to the admin screen.  Admin/password doesn't work either.  Does anyone know how to reset it?

Thanks in advanced.

I have a Linkstation DUO, model: LS-WM1.0TL/1D and recently upgraded to firmware 1.71. Ever since, I cannot login to the web interface. Even doing a factory reset will not provide me access using the default credentials. Here are the Buffalo instructions for resetting the pwd on various models, which didn't work for me but may help you:

And here is my thread:

Page 116 of the LS400 series manual says:

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.
