Help with my wd cloud 3tb gen 2

Okay,
I have the above device. I can’t connect through ssh it says access is denied,no matter how times I connect to webui and change the password. I know nothing much about ssh connections but I need it to install apps so please I beg for your assistance…I learn very fast its just am not getting such a similar case in the forums.English isn’t my first language but I hope people understand me.Am using Putty by the way.

Hi

when you enabled ssh in the GUI (web interface) it should have told you what the default user name and password:

username: root
password: welc0me

try that. be careful. |you are root and one stupid mistake might wipe your files.

If your knowledge of Linux or ssh is weak, don’t do it. install a Linux system somewhere and learn on that.

Thanks,
wasn’t the one who activated but through trial and error I logged in to root with the password -admin (??).Anyways now am in is it possible to create a non root access with admin privileges.Trying to install Transmission and other apps

Ah. Gen2 is different password.:slight_smile:
