remove 2FA with ssh not the reset button

[sidnsmurf]

Hi all,

anyone knows how to remove the 2FA with ssh ?
Because I already tried to push the reset button until I hear a beep. But the 2FA is still active.
I did this 2 times, no chance...

Welcome to the forum.

Try tip No. 11 - Synology quick tips!

Log in as root and remove or rename the file in question.

Hi Rusty,

thanks for your quick reply !
I just worked with the reset button after 3 retries ;-)

greetings

For others stumbling across this thread, an alternative to Tip 11, is to (via SSH) reenable the default admin account (I left mine enabled with a massive password, FWIW), and then log in as admin to disable 2FA on the troubled account.
