Upgrade, now can't login

Post by furnas »

I have upgraded to 9.1.0.1, .724 (from about .636, IIRC) but now cannot login.

I have reset password to default nas4free, and can obtain WebGUI login page on browser, but cannot login as admin - nothing happens when I click 'login' button.

Can someone tell me where the problem might be?

TIA.

Thanks for your response, and suggestion. I've tried that, and several browsers, but it didn't help.

I suspect there's something more serious to this, as I'm also unable to see the NAS's shares on the network, or gain access via SSH (which I could before the upgrade).

if you suspect from a bad boot disk, simply do a new fresh install in a new boot disk , and restore previosly saved config.

PD: you can save your actal config and revise for password , or post here to revise if something is corrupt.

Now fixed. I'm not sure how, exactly, but another reboot or two seems to have helped.

Also, I hadn't noticed that setting the password to default also sets the IP address to a default value. However, this doesn't explain why, when I had then only changed the IP address to my desired one (and which allowed me to successfully navigate to the WebGUI page), I was then unable to log in.

Once I did manage to log in, I found that the configuration was completely absent. Luckily, I was able to load a configuration that I'd saved back in November 2012.

Thanks for all responses.
