Buffalo Forums

Good Afternoon Team,

   After 2 years my laptop died, got a new one, but cannot access the Buffalo Unit, no Username and Password
   Looked every where tried the information from Buffalo, power off/hold function button and power on, wait minute
   hit function button again, but function light never goes amber...

   All with out success can any one advise please

   All the best from Alan

Reboot, leave for 10 minutes, dont press any buttons.

Does the power LED go solid or continue to flash? Does the amber or red LED come on at all?

Does the NAS Navigator software find it?

Hi Davo,

   Thank you for coming to the call most welcome :)

    I did as you said, and from the point of switch to the power light glowing steady
    no amber light came on.

    The V2 software thank you for that, sees the drive no problem at all, click on drive
    it asks for username and password, which I cannot give..


All the best from Alan

Can you access the settings page? Right click the Linkstation in the NAS Navigator -> Settings:

Username: admin
Password: password

Hi Davo,

  WOW yes that worked, what is the next step please


All the best from Alan

Shared folders -> select the share you want to access -> Disable access restrictions at the bottom of the page -> Save.

Unmap any shares you have on the PC -> Reboot the PC then try and access the share via the NAS Navigstor again.

Hi Davo,

   Yes I completed what you said, rebooted, but when I double click the linksys line
   it brings up this login window headed Windows Security, Enter Network credentials
   enter your credentials to connect to FIREFOX (Firefox is the name of the drive in Linksys)

Am I missing something Davo or is there something I have not done in the Web admin

All the best and thank you from Aln

You can also just access the data as admin/password.
