Initialization - Buffalo TeraStation Setup Manual

Initialization

To reset the TeraStation to its factory default settings, power on the unit and hold down the reset button for five seconds.
Location of the reset button varies according to model. You will need to open or remove the drive door to access it. A
key for the drive door is included in your TeraStation package.
Notes:
• Normally, holding down the reset button initializes settings for IP address, Ethernet frame size, admin password, SSL
key, port trunking (default is off), and NASNavi detection (default is on). The ability to reset the admin password may be
turned off in the Web Admin. You can also initialize settings from in the Web Admin (next page).
• To disable resetting the admin password from the initialization button, navigate to [System] - [Restore/Format] and
select [Keep current admin password]. Click [Save].
• If you disable resetting the admin password from the reset button, you can no longer configure the TeraStation if you
forget the password. Write down your password and keep it in a safe place.
