LS-WXLEBE SMB1 to SMB2

[jwhite2737@comcast.net]

Hello all.
I have an LS-WXLEBE as a backup on my PC.  I recently received a message that it would no longer be accessible because it is SMB1 and needs to be SMB2 for Win 10 to see it now.
I've checked the boards and they are over my head.  I did manage get Putty installed and can get as far as ssh into the IP for the device.
My problems are a few.
1. I see that root is the login name.  However, root doesn't work as a password, neither does no password, or password etc.
2. Once I find my way into the device, I don't understand the command line necessary to get the device to be SMB2.
My ask is that someone please let me know how to either reset the ssh password so I can get into the unit and then I'd also request the commands that I could cut/paste to get the device updated to SMB2.
I have data on the two drives that I can't lose .
Thanks for any help.
