I feel dumb, but forgot the root password (fvdw-sl 18-2)...

Tried all possibilities.

Is there a way to reset that?

Hi

Did you change the default one ?

Yes... To something so safe even I can't crack it....

So you have only two ways by using the web-interface :
- make again a firmware upgrade which will restore the default password
(In this case you need to reinstall all the tarball files sent previously)
- generate a rsa key to connect to the SSH server. I can quickly give you an howto

I could try the RSA key :)

And I'm in with RSA key :) the built-in help on the "?" is pretty useful.

Thanks!

With putty package you have an app puttygen.exe Open it

After generate it, give a comment and a passphrase
Save the private key on your laptop (*.ppk)
Copy the public key; Be careful to copy fully the public key from the related frame

Go to the web-interface, and go to the setup menu of ssh access:
- select the rsa-key mode and submit your change
- paste the public key in the related frame and click on "Add the public key"
You should see now your key in the menu Client rsa keys

Now open Putty
- give the nas name
- from left frame, go to Connection>Data and enter 'root' as auto login
- from left frame, go to Connection>SSH>Auth and give the path to your private key

Then Click on "Open"
If all is ok you should be able to connect to the SSH server...
