Assuming the device is completely inaccessible (either via the web GUI or SSH), try the following...

  2. Restart the system
  3. After a while detect the system using QNAP Finder (it'll have lost its config so will need to obtain a DHCP address)

  2. Power of the NAS
  3. Remove all the HDDs
  4. Power on the NAS
  5. After a short beep and a long beep(about two minutes after first short beep), run the QNAP Finder(Make sure the Finder is the latest version).
  6. QNAP Finder should find the NAS and its IP
  7. Select the NAS and click Tools -> Update Firmware
  8. Input default username and password (admin/admin)
