Dear God Please Help.
I’ve enabled SSH access - but no password allows me access.
I have tried the following:
username: root
username: ROOT
username: sshd
username: SSH root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
username: sudo ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
username: ssh root
username: ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
username: ssh -l sshd
username: ssh -l sshd@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
username: admin
password: welc0me
password: root
password: password
password: 12345
password: 123456
I have tried from Kitty, Putty, Debian, OpenSSH, Chrooted, WinSCP, Fedora.
Nothing.
THANK YOU
Current Version WDMyCloud v04.01.00-408 : Core F/W

From putty:
ssh root@wdmycloud
Default password: welc0me
Thank you for the reply.
Just tried:
ssh root@wdmycloud
ssh root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
ssh root
with password ‘welc0me’
Access Denied each time.
This is unbelievable.
Have you changed the password before? If yes you might need to perform a “Factory Restore - SYSTEM ONLY” from the WD Dashboard. You data will remain intact.
No, never.
I read somewhere that that reset only affects the Dashboard UI. If it doesn’t reset the SSH password then I’ll just have to migrate all the data off the drive first and then only the full restore, I suppose.
Thank you.

First, have you EVER used SSH before? In other words, did it ever work for you?
Second, no you don’t have to do a full restore. A System Only restore does change the SSH configuration back to defaults.
Yes, I have used SSH before. But not on this NAS. I’ve used it to communicate between workstations at time. And to edit remote files.
Alrightl, although the Western Digitial literature is lacking, I suppose the file structiure will stay in tact, the folders won’t be afffected and a reset will do.
I hiope so. Thank you.
