Dashboard - Get Login, Fails to login with invalid User/Password msg

This ‘hard’ reset worked for me; 1 ) turn off power, 2) press and hold reset, 3) turn on power, 4) release reset button after 40+ sec.

Cant access dashboard-login rejected

OK…I DID manage to solve this. I read on another forum (for a different WD device) that they had to power off the system and hold down the reset button while applying power, and hold for 40+ secs, and that this would reset the unit to ‘factory defaults’. The catch was…it also is supposed to erase all current data. So…on my unit, it is only 1-2 days old and hence I have nothing on it I cant lose…so I tried this…and…IT WORKED. Full access restored…brought up dashboard and immediately set a static…
