Try a reset by holding the reset button for 4 seconds.  If this does not fix it you may do Full Factory Reset by the Dashboard, make sure to backup your data.

What type of computer are you using?  

How is it connected (Samba / NFS / AFP, etc) to the MBL? 

What error messages (?) are you receiving?

It cant be format and reset, but what i want to fix is how can i store file or folder name with "%" Symbol in the NAS?

 

And I using http://wd2go.com to access using Windows 7. after delete , the file gone, but it will back after u refresh, and if  you want to edit the file that file name with % it show popup below :

---------------------------
Notepad
---------------------------
Cannot find the N:\% a.txt file.
Do you want to create a new file?
---------------------------
Yes No Cancel 
---------------------------

 

 

and if access folder with % it will show popup below:

 

[Window Title]
Location is not available
[Content]
N:\%ffff refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location.
[OK]
