Locked Out on password change

[psionguy]

Received an email regarding security issue and took advise to implement additional security including changing my password, now I am not able to login. I know the password is correct, so I assume I am in trouble.

Is there any way out or will I have to start again and do a complete re-build?

 

Any

[Polanskiman]

Did you try the password via ssh?

[psionguy]

No, just the normal way, how do I do it via SSH?

[psionguy]

OK, I have done some research and have installed Putty, but unable to connect to the server. Have tried both host name and IP + port number 5000. but no joy, what am I doing wrong?

 

Appresiate your help.

You only changed your password or added additional security features?

Try to login from another computer or change ip.

Default SSH port is 23, telnet is 22. Did you enable acsess to ssh/telnet in CP?

Password and added some additional security, firewall and protection from too many logons.

[Polanskiman]

You need to tell us precisely what additional security features you added

Added firewall, and there was an option to restict too many logons from unknown IP's, also added a block  for 5 days on wrong password, so assume I have blocked myself.

OK, no have never used putty on XPEnology before so did not set it up on CP, clearly a big mistake.

[Olegin]

Try to change ip of your computer and login.

Putty give a rejected connection, using IP and port 23

[Polanskiman]

Do as Olegin says. Try to log in from a different IP

I will try and log on from another pc, if I can get a connection what do I need to do?

You can try to log in from another PC through the GUI not through putty. The purpose is that since the IP you used initially is probably blocked you need to try to connect from another IP.

5 days block is too much in my opinion. Set it like this or similar:

 

 

This feature is basically aimed at bots that would try to brute force your credentials. You should not be too restrictive else it's the users that will suffer in case of block. Usually when a bot is prevented to continue attacking (blocked) it will stop and will move to the next target so no point in locking things too long or too tight.

Have tried a different PC and get the same result, connection refused.  Putty using port 23, have tried with host name and IP address

Agree, if I can get back on I will amend, makes sense.

Have also tried to logon on to my network on a different PC, and tried both my old password and the new one, and it rejects them both. Looks like my options are running out.

Was this the admin account?

Just logged on using my phone using the music app, and it worked with my new password, but why not my other pc

And it was only the DS audio app that worked, not the DS cam or DS File. So strange.

[Polanskiman]

If you can try to log in through the DS Finder app. You can then deactivate the most restrictive security features.

Ok have managed to logon to putty, but again it rejects both old and new passwords. Is there anything else I can do using putty?
