Can't find the NAS and access the graphic UI in ADM
Hi there, …an inexperienced NAS owner here. I desperately need some technical advice and a little bit of tolerance from you guys, mostly due to my silly questions...
I got a Lockerstor 4 AS6704T a few months ago and set it up with 4 x 6TB NAS HDDs. After tinkering with it a couple weeks, I just turned it off and put it away as I had to focus on my other projects, mainly local LLMs in a dedicated PC.
Yesterday I turned on my Asustor NAS again and wanted to access the NAS via its graphic user interface – the log in screen - with no success. ACC failed to find the NAS (as usual). When I checked the IP number on the screen of the NAS, I noticed the IP was not the same I used the last time. I tried the new local IP (192.168.0.30) but this time, instead of a graphic UI, I got this page (see the photos) with a message saying “Congratulations! You have successfully enabled the Web server on your Asustor NAS”. Now I have no idea when and why I did that, but even if I did it, I was still able to access the graphic UI before I turned off the NAS and put it away… I don’t know what has changed since then?
By the way, I am able to reach the NAS through windows explorer under the NETWORK so whatever I installed initially is still there, but I am a typical windows fan boy who needs the visual interface to function…☹ I have tried resetting the NAS through the pin hole at the back using a needle, but it just didn’t work, nothing changed. Other ways of resetting the device requires logging in the software, so I am literally out of options with my limited technical skills.
How can I disable this web server and access the Log in screen? Any help would be highly appreciated… thank you all in advance 😊
