NV+ factory reset
I have made a giant mistake. Here's what happened: I forgot my password to enter the frontview of my NAS, so i tried password reset. Appears i never set the thing, so next option was a factory reset...
I did the same thing. :slap:
Performed a Factory Reset and thought I had lost everything.
Here's what I did to fix it.
First I did nothing else to the NV+
While it was displaying "Waiting on RAIDar" I turned the unit off from the switch in back.
I then performed the OS/Firmware Re-install procedure. "press reset button ~5 sec."
The NV+ rebooted "took about 5 minutes" and when it was finished everything was back to normal. all shares and everything. Other than the things that are reset normally from the OS/Firmware reinstall. :D
I've been through all the directories on the NV+ and all files are where they should be and work.
I hope this helps. This just happened to me today, and while I was looking for a solution I stumbled upon this forum post.
