Can't login to MyCloud Home

Hi, I have been a WD MyCloud user since the beginning many years back.
I have had the previous generations of this device.

Today I am trying to setup this Brand NEW MyCloud home that I purchased directly from WD website. But I can’t login from MS-Win-10 File Explorer.

Apple-005-4tb is my old MyCloud NAS drive on my home network.

I downloaded the WD Discovery app and setup an account and it works but when I try to login from my computer MS-Win-10 File Explorer window I can’t login.
What is the default username and password ?

Also I want to login in from the Dashboard to edit settings if it is still possible of has this feature been removed ?



Recommend resetting your admin account.

If you have a My Cloud Home, that unit is different than the My Cloud line of devices. The My Cloud Home does not have the “Dashboard” that the My Cloud line has/uses for device configuration.

If you have a My Cloud device and not a My Cloud Home device, see the dedicated subforum elsewhere for your device since solutions for My Cloud Home problems/issues may not pertain or work on the My Cloud line of devices.

For My Cloud devices, if one has forgotten their administrator password, used to access the My Cloud Dashboard, one can perform a 4 second reset.
