Does OS Reinstall *REALLY* reset the Admin password?
I'm helping a nonprofit that has all their data locked up in a ReadyNAS NVX 4250... and no records on the recovery email or PW. I've used the front panel to reload the OS. RAIDar does find it, and shows that it is running an older OS version -- 4.2.5 BUT... I can't log in to the admin interface. Supposedly, an OS reinstall will reset the admin pw. But neither of the defaults work: password, netgear1. SO... does the Admin PW actually get reset on OS reinstall? Can I force an OS *upgrade* somehow (maybe using a USB memory stick and the front panel?) Any other ideas? Thanks, Pete2.6KViews0likes4Comments
