Title: Admin Password Reset and USB Backup Questions
Post by: tnbtaylor on August 22, 2020, 07:44:28 AM
I have the LS-WTGL/R1-V3 firmware version 3.10 (I know it is old, but it still work great).

If I reset the password for the admin account, does that remove any data from the NAS?  Would I lose any access to the shared folders on the NAS?  I don't want to lose any files or lose access to folders, so I want to make sure resetting the admin password won't impact any of the folders or files.  To log back in after reset, would the password be "password"?

If I want to perform a backup to a USB drive to mirror the NAS to the USB, would I select (a complete backup has already been completed, but now new files are on the NAS that are not on the USB drive).  It seems I should select "Overwrite Backup (Differential Backup) so that the USB drive mirrors the NAS.

Thanks for any information you can provide.

Has anyone answered you concerning this?  I'm facing the loss of data concern as well.
