Hello Everybody, Thank you for all the participants in this forum, it helped me a lot. I relocated across continents, and after some years things settled back to "normal". After 5+ years I rea...

I know some things get blocked when the password remains the default, so making it blank may have similar restrictions.

FYI, the correct original solution was to do an OS re-install from the reset button menu, which resets the password to the default. At this point, I don't know if that would fix things or make them worse.

Thank you for the reply. Maybe I should have done a more thorough RTFM. I now have everything backed up, so I will try the proposed solution and see how it works. If not, I will just have to completely reset the NAS, which is probably the safest bet.

OK, so the OS reinstall did nothing wrt the passwords. I then did a complete factory reset, after which I found myself with no access to the web interface and no ssh connection possible.

I tried to install the apache2 updates from rdynsxtrs via serial console and 'n usb disk, but this failed citing "not a debian package" or similar errors.

the .bin packages cannot be installed from the command line?

So I will have to temporary bypass the https (the solution for the duo v1, will it work on the duo v2?) and then install the .bin packages through frontview.

But all in all it seems to be somewhat of a pain - I will look at installing debian and certain OMV packages.

  Just use FireFox. Temporarily set security.tls.version.min to 1 (browse to about:config and search for the setting).

  I think you are going to find the Marvell 88F6282 (32-bit ARMV5) and 256M of RAM to be quite limiting in doing that. Not a total roadblock for Debian, but quite limiting. Current OMV is 64-bit only.
