![]() ![]() If you hold the button down 10 seconds, then it will destroy your setup and make it difficult to get back at your data. This will reset the Admin password, WITHOUT destroying the shares and user access that you set up. Release when it beeps, or release after 4 seconds and it should beep once on release. With the QNAP NAS running, using a pin or a very thin screwdriver (a Torx 5 for repairing iPhones turns out to be ideal) press this button down for three full seconds. (The location will vary with different models) Locate the Reset button on the back panel of the QNAP, behind a small hole. No problem, since you are long overdue to change it anyway… If you are like me, you set this up 4 years ago and have long since forgotten the password. Use the QFinder Pro application ( to install the latest version) to log into your QNAP device with your Administrative password. (Also, I forgot the Admin passwords to allow QFinder to actually let me upgrade.) When I checked my NAS units, the firmware was at 2016 levels, that is not good. But they are computers, inside, and their OS needs updating as well. It has been fixed with a firmware update from QNAP in February, but the catch is - you need to manually install the update before it will fix things.īecause backup appliances work in the background, and we don’t have them in our faces (on our screens) like Windows and OSX, we don’t see nag notices reminding us to upgrade. There is a security vulnerability that affects the QNAP NAS storage devices, and their QTS operating system. ![]()
