Checking Your Email Inbox; Restoring The Default Password - Promise Technology SmartStor NS4600 Product Manual

The SmartStor automatically runs a File System Check due to the abnormal
shutdown. During the File System Check, the System Status LED blinks
amber and the Disk Activity LEDs blink blue. See page 310 for more
information.

Checking Your Email Inbox

If you enabled Mail Alert in PASM, the SmartStor will send you an email message
when a problem arises. Look for a message from "root."

See "Adding an Email Alert Recipient" on page 259 for more information about
email alerts.

Restoring the Default Password

Normally, you change your password in PASM. See "Changing the User's
Password" on page 205.
If you changed the password and then forgot the new password, you can reset
the SmartStor to the default password: admin. Use a straightened paper clip or
the tip of a ball-point pen as a reset tool.
To reset the Administrator's password:
1. Verify that the SmartStor is fully booted.
2. Insert your reset tool into the reset button hole on the back of the SmartStor.
See Figure 10.
3. Press and hold the reset button for eight seconds, until the System Status
LED flashes three times.
See Figure 10. The Administrator's password is now reset to admin.
