to initialize the administrator's password from the Web Admin interface, only the IP address
and Ethernet frame size settings are initialized. You can initialize other items from the Web
Admin interface.
If you do not want to initialize the admin password when you initialize the LinkStation, select
[Keep current admin password] in the [System] - [Restore/Erase] - [Restore Factory Defaults]
screen, and click [Save].
If you choose to not initialize the admin password from the function button, you can no
longer congure the LinkStation if you forget the password! Write your password down and
put it in a safe place.
