Creating a Recovery Drive

Follow the procedure below to create a recovery drive, which allows you to initialize all of the TeraStation's settings
or just restore the admin password to its factory default value.
Notes:
• Normally, creating and using a recovery drive will not affect data on the TeraStation. However, always back up
your data regularly!
• This USB drive can be used to recover the system if your TeraStation doesn't boot at all. In this case, if the data
partition is damaged, then all your data will be deleted by the recovery process.

Note: All data on the USB flash drive will be erased!
