Auto Block; Resetting Administrator Password; Reinstalling Synology Disk Station - Synology DS109j User Manual

Auto Block

Auto Block is another method to block unauthorized logins via SSH, Telnet,
rsync, FTP, mobile devices, File Station, and management UI. Go to "Network
Services > Auto Block" to enable and set up the service so that IP addresses
exceeding the specified number of failed login with a time period will be blocked.

Resetting Administrator Password

Pressing the "RESET" button and holding 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 Disk Station

If for any reason you have to reinstall the Synology Disk Station, you can press
the RESET button on the back panel twice, and the Synology Disk Station will be
reinstalled. The data saved on the Synology Disk Station 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 Disk Station 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 Disk Station emits a
beep sound.
3. Run Synology Assistant, and set up the Synology Disk Station again.
Note: The version of Synology Assistant should be identical to the version of the
firmware patch file you install.
