If you forget your Synology login info, or if your credentials simply are not working, here are the steps to reset the login to factory defaults. Note: this should only reset the login info, but regardless I recommend backing up your data first if you are able to.

Dell PowerEdge Boot Up Displayed on AOC LCD monitor

Recently we booted up our old 1U Dell R610 server to restore some data from it. However, we were unable to access the VMWare vSphere capabilities and could not ping the dedicated IP address. Hooking up a spare monitor we found that the CMOS battery was bad and it was preventing bootup (i.e. it was stuck at an error confirmation screen). After using a keyboard to continue by “pressing any key” to get past the error, all was well 👍👍

After this, the process completed perfectly! *normally I always uncheck that box, but for some reason this time I forgot to uncheck it on my first attempt.
