After completing a Server Recovery (using the preseve Data option), the WD dx4000 shows in my computer, but the user names / passwords we normally use to access it via Windows My Computer no longer work. I accessed it via HTTP:// and it was like a new setup: I had to enter a new username and password. But, that setup mode causes the Server to do an initialization like it did when it was new. I had to force it to stop --i.e., powered off-- before it got too far (it still showed “0%”) because we can’t lose the data that is already on the drives.
I had to do another server recovery because of that power off, and now it is waiting for me to connect again. I still can’t access it through Windows Explorer without entering a UN/PW. The http:// seems like my only option.

Is there a default username / password after a Server Recovery that can be used when accessing via Windows Explorer?
-
If not, and the HTTP:// route must be used, during the “initializing” step, is the server wiping the data from the hard drives or simply verifying the data that already exists?
