Firmware 1.7.1
Thermaltake not provides root password for this NAS.
It is possible to change it.
You need to change /etc/passwd file where passwords (encrypted) are stored.
Download Sancho to control Mldonkey server. Install it.
Go to your admin interface of NAS. Login as admin. Go to section Advanced and start your DownaloadStation (mldonkey).
Now run Sancho to connect to mldonkey server. Put ip of your NAS and admin password.
On Sancho search for a button named Console. Click it and now you can send commands to server with the last one row at bottom.
Mldonkey run as root ad you can lunch commands as a shell.
Unlikely if you write “passwd” you can’t change root password because the console not support remote prompt.
But you can run che command “/bin/chmod 777 /etc/passwd”. So anyone can write on password file.
Now you need an access thru telnet or ssh.
On Sancho, write the command “/bin/chsh -s /bin/bash admin.
Now open your putty or a Prompt-command and write “telnet 192.168.X.Y” (192.168.X.Y is ip of your NAS).
Enter admin as login and your password.
You are in.
Now you can run “vi /etc/passwd”.
first line is similar to:
root:75hv0xCjznz1U75hv0xCjznz1U:500:600,700,701,702:…..
and other lines, one is similar to
admin:7asd5hasdv0xCjznz1U75hv0xCjznz1U:500:600,700,701,702:…..
copy the string of the second field (separated from “:”) (es:7asd5hasdv0xCjznz1U75hv0xCjznz1U) in the second field of the”root line”.
Example:
root:7asd5hasdv0xCjznz1U75hv0xCjznz1U:500:600,700,701,702:…..
So your root password is the same of admin password.
Save /etc/passwd and now you know root password.
If you prefer you can login as root and run passwd to change root password.
Reset permissions of /etc/passwd file with “/bin/chmod 755 /etc/passwd”
