Can't access My LinkStation Duo (LS-WX2.0TL/R1) after a power outage

[andreb904]

Hi, after a power outage My LinkStation Duo (LS-WX2.0TL/R1) (RAID 1 mode) booted in the Emergency Mode. Then I ran the LSUpdater to install the last version 1.75. The firmware update completed successfully.  At the end it asked me for the administration password. I did not recall it at that time so I pressed cancel.

And now, Windows explorer cannot access the shared folders as before. But the NAS Navigator2 can see my NAS, it gives me the firmware version (1.75), which confirm the firmware update as worked. I can see the Workgroup, it is correct and as it was before. But I cannot browse my NAS when pressing Browse in NAS Navigator2.  It gives me the following error message "The shared folder could not be opened".

I can access the WEB interface. it ask me for a username/password. When entering the username/password I entered when configuring the unit years ago (It was written down in a secure place) it gives me an Invalid username or password.

I tried to reset the password by following the procedure in the user manual.  LEDs are flashing as indicated during the reset process but the default admin/password is not working, I am getting the same Invalid username or password message.  Since I configured it years ago I do not recall if I disabled the reset password feature.

Bringing it back to life would be great but not mandatory.  All I want is to access my files so I can copy them to another safe place.

Is there a way or an application to force a password update?

Is there another way to access my files in the NAS?

If I extract one drive and connect it in my PC, is there any application I can use to read the drive and extract my files?

Thanks for your Help,

André
