Password
I have my Timemachine backup on my ReadyNAS 104. I can log on as the admin but when I try to log on to my Timemachine it will not accept my password. Can I recover this password in some way?
Thank you for all your help. I was able to recover my password and when I booted up in RECOVERY mode and put the password I got an error message"Time Machine was unable to recover from this backup" I would think thats all that can be done.Thanks Again.
JennC,
I was in the right place but i'm sure the reason I couldnt find my Time Machine backup in the keychain is my Fusion Drive crashed and I lost everything. That is why I needed to recover my backup. But my Time Machine backup is on my NAS and I cant login. Sorry, any more suggestions.
If you can't remember the password you could change it. That is the other option.

In the web admin UI for the NAS you can change the password for Time Machine.
If it's for the global/shared Time Machine you'd look under Backup > Time Machine.
