Advanced Settings
Maintenance (Initialization)
Initialization is a reset procedure that restores all settings back to the default, out of box, configuration. All configuration, users, groups, and backup jobs are lost, but actual data and shares on the hard are NOT lost. If you want all data to be erased, reformat the drive.
Specify whether the LinkStation shall keep its administrator password after a initialization or whether the password should be reset to the default password (default password is
password). Press the Apply button once you make the selection.
Press the Restore button to begin the initialization process; this will restore all settings to factory defaults but will NOT erase the data on the hard drives. Start Disk Formatting begins a complete disk format that will erase all information on the LinkStation’s internal hard drives. This cannot be undone.
