RN10200 - Boot Cycle not working
I'm trying to do an OS Install via the reset / power cycle / Back up button. But its not working. .
n.b. Rear Reset button is labled 'Sys' - I assume its the same thing.
on a power cycle with reset pressed, all 5 lights alight ( power, drive 1 & 2, activity & backup leds)
If I press the backup button to commence the mode cycle all but the power light goes out, with no ongoing cycle.
What am I doing wrong. I cant access the admin page - no p/w.
Basically I think I have no access to OS Install or Factory Default .
The ReadyNAS RN10200 has 1T drive with Encription enabled. I have the key, NAS boots & publishes it contents with no trouble. I just need to reset the OS to update the admin pw.
Fixed - there are various instructions out there - Goolge search returned:
THESE ARE DOWN LEVEL .
Turns out a key part of the instructions ( found in later instructions) is to
- Release the reset button after the 4 lights light & BEFORE you press the backup button.
I'm happy now.
