We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Buffalo NAS Error (alien.top)

I found an old TerraSation TS5200 on eBay. Bought it, powered it up and the previous owner didn't delete the stuff on it including his login credentials. I contacted hin, turned out, he forgot his credentials and offered me my money back (It was abt 10 bucks so no problem with that if it was lost).

He told me to keep it if I wanted to and I agreed. I just want to set up this device as a spare data-safe.

Now I got some fresh (2x4TB) HDDs ready for installation trying to figure out how to reset the whole thing. Buffalo-Support mentions the RESET-Button on their Website, wich is not working (System simply reboots after holding it).

Is there any other way to get this device to work, or is it ready for being trashed?

(sorry for my bad english lol)

Look in the buffalo documentation for standard logins/passwords. 99% of users never change them
