Hello to All,

Sad news from me, the NAs540 crashed suddenly, from one day to another...

I was able to recover data from the raid, at least is not a total loss!

Current state:

1. NAS540 boots
2. Dos not get IP (NAS seeker says 0.0.0.0)
3. Joke !
4. Serial TTL, Com1,115200,N,8   and  I am ready to go
   
5. Boot up, give manual IP to egiga0
6. Disable annoying buzzer
7. I got to the web interface
8. Login with default admin/1234
9. Ask me to change password, and I change it
10. Web login prompt again
11. New password does not work
12. Change again with more complex and longer ... nothing
    
13. Tried 4-5 different browsers ... nothing
    
14. "su admin" and change it then, nothing

It does not go out from change password loop.

I even tried giving him a empy hdd disk, nothing

Info:

 # cat /firmware/mnt/info/fwversion
V5.21(AATB.1)

How can I change admin web password from console ?

Can I reinitialize hdd from console ?

Can I Flash with the newest 521AATB2C0 from console ?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

  Yes I did reset with hw button, many times..

  You are aware that you only get a full factory reset when you push the button until it hes beeped 3 times? (about 20 seconds, I think).

  have you tried reset your device via hw button?
  Or try to reset https via console?  
  # /etc/init.d/httpd restart

  Hi,

  
  

  thanks for the advises, I repeat, the device is already in a factory state.

  Yes I did reset with hw button, many times..

  
  

  The advice for "http restart" is misleading, it just restarts the web UI process. Yes I tried that as well.

  The password process still remain  in the loop.

  Hi Mizelf,

  
  

  That did trick ! The loop is broken, I can now set a permanent admin password.

  
  

  Thank you!
  

  
  

  Never had a chance to tell you before, I appreciate your work on expanding functionalities of this devices !   Hope you get a breakthrough for expanding the current ones, with the current hardware they are capable for much more.

  
  

  
  

  Thanks again !
