Managing Synology Server

You can start managing Synology Server in Web Management UI. Synology
Server Web Management UI provides distinctive and straight forward design for
easy management. You will find an online "Help" button on every page of the
Web Management UI. Click on the "Help" button for further information
whenever you encounter any problem.

Resetting Administrator Password

Pressing the "RESET" button and hold it for about 4 seconds before you heard a
beep sound will restore IP, DNS, passwords for the "admin" account to default
value, and reset the "guest" account to the "enabled" status. The default
password of the "admin" account is blank.

Reinstalling Synology Server

If for any reason you have to reinstall the Synology Server, you can press the
RESET button on the back panel twice, and the Synology Server will be
reinstalled. The data saved on the Synology Server will not be erased during the
reinstallation. However, for security's reason, we strongly recommend that you
back up the data on the server.
To reinstall the server:
1. Press the "RESET" button and hold it for about 4 seconds. Release the
button when the Synology Server emits a beep sound.
2. Within the next 10 seconds, press the "RESET" button and hold it for about 4
seconds again. Release the button when the Synology Server emits a beep
sound.
3. Run Synology Assistant, and set up the Synology Server again.
Note: The version of Synology Assistant should be identical to the version of the
firmware patch file you install.
