Timemachine Backup Password

Hi,

I am using an RN104 for my Mac's Timemachine backup. It was working fine till we had a power failure here. Now the Mac is asking me to re-enter the password for the timemachine backup. Unfortunately I have managed to forget it!

I have tried going into the admin page of the RN104 and changing the password there, then hitting apply, but it keeps changing back to what it was before. Can anyone suggest a way to either change the password or recover the existing one?

Alternatively, can anyone tell me how to get into the RN104 and delete the timemachine file so that I can start again. If it is going to come to this it would be really helpful if you could use really small words as my knowledge of the RN104 is very basic!

Regards

Try using the new password and see if it works.

Sorry I should have mentioned that I have tried that. Sadly it wasn't that easy!
