Unable to login into NAS - can i access it locally

bartjunited · 01 Dec 2020

My brother has a lacie NAS and cant remember the username and password that we used when we set it up and cant access the web portal and its not sitting on his network.

I thought there was a way to access it locally by using an ethernet cable and using a local ip address but I cant remember how.

Any ideas what we can do? I cant reset the device as it will wipe his data.

LAst resort can I unscrew the caddy and plug the HDD into a USB caddy to access the files?

TIA Bart

Last question, Should be able to. I ran into a NAS drive where the electronic interface in the case failed, took the drive out but I use a dock device where 1 or 2 drives can be inserted to gain access. Have done the same with USB drives for the same reason of failure.
