Help- downgrade - OK with losing data

[shcsbaker 0]

Ok, so I update to 5.2 and no matter what I do I can't get rid of 5.2. I'm ok if I have to lose the data on my drives. On the Web GUI, under the Install button, is says, "We've detected that the hard drives of your current DS3615xs had been moved from a previous DS3615xs, and installing a newer DSM is required before continuing." then a Device Info link, which opens a small window with some info.. including:

Status: Update Required

Firmware: 5.1.5022

DSM: 5.2.5565

 

I've tried to unplug some of my drives, change the order of how they were plugged in, but nothing seems to work. I boot from a ssd drive and have pulled that and put a fresh copy of the img on it, but again nothing seems to work.

 

Anyone got any ideals?

 

Thanks,

Kevin

what is the default password?

@shcsbaker :

Hi,

The root password is the same as the admin password you have set up during DSM installation.

Careful, under VMware console, the default keyboard layout is 'qwerty'. Try typing your password under login prompt first in order to avoid any typo issue related to keyboard.

I think I had the admin account disabled and I'm using the password for my admin username, but not working. Is there something else I can do?

I have the same problem that I had closed the root account,but only admin left.

Copy the password to your clipboard.

Then when loggin in, at the password prompt press [shift]+[insert] key, this will paste your password from the clipboard.
