USB reload on RND2000v1

Question

&nbsp;I have been trying to do a USB recovery on my Readynas.&nbsp; The instructions say to insert the USB stick and then hold the power in for 20 seconds and wait for the lights to blink.&nbsp; My unit comes on and shuts off if I hold the unit. I have lost the password is why I am trying to do this. holding the reset in back does not appear to help so I have resorted to USB.&nbsp; I can't find instructions on TFTP

bedlam1:&nbsp;I can't do that, but I can (and did) edit it.

Perhaps review Page2 23-24 of the Hardware Manual&nbsp;HERE
&nbsp;
EDIT - should have been pages 15-16 for the RND2000.

bedlam1&nbsp;should have referred you to pages 15-16 (which I think you should have known if you'd looked at the table of contents).

It's dangerous to use instructions for the wrong platform, especially on a 2-bay model with no LCD screen.&nbsp; If you are lucky, it will just fail.&nbsp; If you aren't so lucky you can lose data.
&nbsp;
What firmware are you running on your NAS?
