[bert_c]

hi,

 

i've had a link station HS-DH500GL-EU for a good few years but haven't used it in a long time as i have lost the password. there is nothing on the HDD that i need to keep. is there a way i can re-set the unit and start again?

 

any suggestions woiuld be appreciated as it's worthless at the moment.

 

thanks

Press and hold the reset button at the back for 10 seconds while the unit is fully powered on and wait 2 minutes, it will reset the username/password to admin/password and the IP address to DHCP.

First try using the Default

username: admin

Password: password

 

If doesn`t work;

1. Look for the Init button on back of device.

2. Press and hold the red button for 10 seconds. The device will start beeping (no beep for LS-W TGL/R1). The password and IP address should change to default.
