I’m the home network manager and I can’t remember my GoFlex Homepassword. How do I reset it?
If you are the home network manager (the person who set up GoFlex Home originally) andyou can no longer remember your GoFlex Home password, follow these instructions to reset your password:
1. Make sure that no one is accessing GoFlex Home. No one should be viewing photos,watching a movie, listening to music, or working with any other file stored on GoFlex Home,or copying files to or from their GoFlex Home folders.
2. Using a paperclip, press and hold the Reset button for three (3) seconds. The reset button islocated on the side of the GoFlex Home dock, as shown in Figure 1 on page 7.Caution: Don’t hold the Reset button longer than 5 seconds. Holding down the Reset button for10 seconds erases all your custom GoFlex Home settings (see page 71).The white drive light blinks to show that GoFlex Home is shutting down. When shutdown iscomplete, both lights turn off.
3. Press the Power button to restart GoFlex Home if the device doesn’t restart on its own.
4. On your computer, open a Web browser (such as Explorer or Safari) and enter the GoFlexHome IP address in this format:http://GoFlexHomeIPaddress/For example:http://192.168.0.12/To find the IP address of GoFlex Home on a computer running the Windows operating system,find GoFlex Home in the list of Network devices and check its Properties. (In Windows XP, ifGoFlex Home doesn’t appear in the network device list, click Show icons for networkedUPnP devices in My Network Places, then follow the on-screen instructions.)To find the IP address of GoFlex Home on a computer running the Mac operating system,use the Network Utility in Finder (Applications > Utilities).
