Have new Mac computer & need to delete existing Time Machine backup to start anew.

    After I erased Sparsebundle, I was able to restart TM backup by clicking on "Enable" button to turn off (see attached pic), then immediately clicking on it again (to turn on). Type in new password, then click "Apply" & "OK". Started right up.

Not sure what the NAS hostname is.

How do you normally access files on the NAS?

    Thank you, everyone for your assistance. Still can't get access to the Time Machine sparsebundle.

      Have you tried the second method in schumaku's link?

       

      What error/problem are you having?

        I don't know what " (previously defined through Time Machine setup in Frontview)" means to get password.
