Trying to repurpose a device that actually was never used. I have this small DATTO Appliance that was set up many years ago then shipped to me and never used. After about 4+ years gathering dust in the corner not plugged up I want to bring it back to life and install a new OS on it so I can use Synology for the first time. The unit is a 2TBx4 and I "think" I might know the bios password but have no idea how to test to find out.
Is there any type of walk though (for a DATTO Appliance) on the process of installing DAO to replace the DATTO OS using the bios password? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
