I am brand new to Synology and NASs in general. I have a DS1821+ on a local network. There are 2 ethernet switches between my computer (PC) and the NAS.
I have not saved anything 'important' to the NAS yet, because I didn't want to screw things up before learning the system. So I have been slowly adjusting settings, adding packages, testing encryption, etc.
Yesterday, I turned on some security settings that I thought would be basic and not mess anything up. Mainly, I turned on IP blocking after X number of attempts. I also turned on DDoS protection.
I then turned off the NAS overnight. This morning, I pressed the NAS power button, it booted up, and I went to my PC to login like normal. I enter my username, enter my password, then get an error message:
I have a static IP address from my ISP, but I didn't think that mattered since I am on the same local network as the NAS.
My nuclear option is to do a full factory reset of the NAS (remember, I haven't saved any important data yet) but I HAVE added packages and had things set up pretty well (until I changed the security settings) and would prefer to learn from my error and fix this rather than wiping the NAS and starting over.
What do I need to try in order to login? (Also, I am 100% sure I am entering the correct password, and from the last time I was logged in until now, I only made a single login attempt, which should not have triggered the IP blocking rules.)
Thank you!
