Change and Recover the Admin Password
You can change the password you need to enter before you can use FrontView. You can also
choose a security question to be asked if you forget the password. If you forget your
password, you can visit a special website to answer the security question. If you answer
correctly, a new password is emailed to the specified email address.
If you forget the password and the answer to the security question, reinstall your system's
operating system to reset the password. This resets all your system's settings to their default
values but does not erase any of your system's files. For more information, see the hardware
manual for your system.
To change the admin password:
1.
From the FrontView main menu, select Security > Admin Password.
2.
In the New admin password field, enter a new password.
3.
In the Retype admin password field, enter the new password.
4.
If you want to change the security question and answer, in the Password recovery question
field, enter a new question, and in the Password recovery answer field, enter a new answer.
5.
If you want to change the email address where the password is sent after you answer the
security question, in the Password recovery email address field, enter a new email address.
If you need to recover your password later, you must remember the email address you
entered here and enter it exactly.
6.
Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
To recover the admin password:
1.
Using a web browser, go to http://<NAS_IP_address>password_recovery.
Note that <NAS_IP_address> is your ReadyNAS system's IP address. For example, if the
IP address is 10.1.10.103, enter http://10.1.10.103/password_recovery.
2.
Enter the email address you entered when you set the password.
You must enter exactly as you did then. It is case sensitive.
3.
Enter the answer to the security question.
It is case-sensitive.
4.
Click Reset password and email.
If you entered the correct email address and answer, an email message is sent to the
email address with a new password.
If you cannot remember the correct email address and answer, you can reinstall your
system's operating system, which resets all the system's settings to the defaults, but does
not erase any files stored on it. For more information, see the hardware manual for your
system.
