To reset the TeraStation to its factory default settings, power on the unit and hold down the reset button for five 
seconds.   
Notes: 
•  Normally, holding down the reset button initializes settings for IP Address, Ethernet Frame Size, admin password, SSL 
Key, Port Trunking (default is off), and Network Services except AFP/FTP (page 119).  The ability to reset the admin 
password may be turned off in the Web Admin interface. You can also initialize settings from within the Web Admin 
interface (next page).
•  To disable resetting the admin password from the initialization button, navigate to [System] - [Restore/Erase] - 
[Restore Factory Defaults] - [Modify Settings] and select [Keep current admin password].  Click [Save].
•  If you disable resetting the admin password from the reset button, you can no longer configure the TeraStation if you 
forget the password.  Write down your password and keep it in a safe place.
