Title: How to reset forgotten password
Post by: FlaminioG007 on June 22, 2010, 07:36:45 PM: I forgot my DNS-323 admin password
I wonder if there is a way to reset it?

Doesn't reconfiguring the device also require a rebuild of the RAID arrays..which would delete the information already present?

No.
