Admin password not working on LS-QVL/R5 after Firmware upgrade

[Youngdog]

DOH! Just realised I posted this in the vendor section of the device I used to connect - not the NAS box giving me grief!

Have reposted under Storage Devices and Methods instead!

p.s. I love my ION330 by the way!

Two days ago my two-week old 8TB LS-QVL/R5 dropped off the network. I connected directly using my PC's NIC, configured the static IP/turned off Firewall and got the Link station to appear in NAS Nav2 but it was in EM mode and told me it needed a firmware reinstall.

I downloaded v1.54 but it wouldn't see the device until I used LSUpdater in Debug mode - I flashed it Ok and after a reboot it started appearing in NAS Nav2 on my network again. Unfortunately, even though the device name has been reset and I can see the storage is OK, I am unable to access using Web Admin - neither my specified password or the default work!

I have tried the Power Off - Hold Function-Power On - Hold Function step about 7 or 8 times but I am still unable to get in using defaults

PLEASE HELP!
