Hello James,

Try the word 'system'.

James,

if Ian's answer was helpful for your problem,
maybe you can find some time to do some point assigning?

Hi,

here is a additional hint, HOW to default it

- Switch the server off
- Press the Button on the backside
- Plug the cable in
- Wait (all the time pressing the button) ~ 30 seconds, until the light starts to flash
(Depending on the firmware sometimes you must wait more than a minute!)

Now the password is back to system.
And all the settings are also to default!

Bye Kuddel
