Resetting the My Book Live Duo
If you have set a password or a static IP address on the My Book Live Duo dashboard and
have forgotten it, pressing the reset button while the device is powered up resets the
password to the default value of none and to default IP settings. Resetting does not erase
your files.
Follow the instructions below to reset the device using the reset button:
WARNING!
1. With the device powered on, insert a paperclip or narrow tipped pen into the reset
button slot on the back of the unit:
2. Press and hold down the reset button for four seconds. The device reboots (this may
take up to three minutes).
Do not move the unit while it is turned on. If you do not have access to
the back of the unit, unplug the drive from the power source, turn the
drive around so you do have access, and then plug the drive in again.
