How do I reset thev password on my MyBook Live?

I’ve just installed a new MyBook Live and updated the software.

It gave me an option to set a password which I thought was for access over the internet.

It then came up with a box to input the user password but I don’t know what this is.  It won’t accept the password I just set so I assume I wrote it down and then typed it into the system incorrectly twice.  How can I get into this to reset it?  I am on an imac that is ethernet connected to the network that the drive is on.

Thanks

Hold the reset button in on the back for like 5-6 seconds. This will blank out the password, reset the root password and set the MBL to use DHCP to get an IP address. No data will be harmed in this process.
