I had this NAS for several years and over the time connected to webadmin with user admin to set up for example a plex server and a couple of shares. Luckily I enabled ssh access too.
The NAS usually just works so I rarely logon to it once setup.
A couple of days ago I was on the plex server and saw that there is an update. I have to go through the webadmin to perform the update so I try to logon using admin and the password stored in my password manager. It doesn’t work.
I logon with ssh (with my ssh user) and sets the password for admin (sudo passwd admin). That is successful but I still cannot logon to the webadmin.
I have checked the log files and found this in nasAdmin.log that seems to be the reason

I guess this is due to that I changed the password using passwd. Is it possible to set the password from the ssh console? Or is there a way to reset without loosing data? I believe passwd uses des to hash the password and this may be the reason logon with the new password dos not work.
