    Trying to access HDD from a NAS locally


    my brother has a NAS and has forgotten the login details (duh)
    cant reset the device as he will lose his data

    therefore I have taken the HDD out and put it into a HDD caddy to connect locally to my laptop

    however as it was a NAS the disk is formatted in a certain format and has no drive letter assigned.

    see picture attached

    Im not sure what I should do here.

    Do i need to try and convert the data partition to NTFS or FAT32 using MIniTool?

    Ultimately what id like to do is get the data transferred off the drive , then format it and set the NAS up again for him

    TIA

    Bart

    Unable to login into NAS - can i access it locally

    My brother has a lacie NAS and cant remember the username and password that we used when we set it up and cant access the web portal and its not sitting on his network.

    I thought there was a way to access it locally by using an ethernet cable and using a local ip address but I cant remember how.

    Any ideas what we can do? I cant reset the device as it will wipe his data.

    LAst resort can I unscrew the caddy and plug the HDD into a USB caddy to access the files?

    TIA Bart
