March 13, 20224 yr I’m hoping somebody can help. My friend passed away suddenly recently and he was running Unraid for a home server. I’ve tried getting onto a shared drive on the array which is mapped to the virtual Windows machine. His wife has said there are important documents on there and photographs. I can access the Windows virtual machine (IP 192.168.0.183) but not the network share (192.168.1.200). I can’t access the GUI using /tower//. I can get in GUI Safe Mode but the system crashes when I start the array. If I go into GUI Mode Normal I lose the mouse and keyboard, presumably as it passes to the Windows virtual machine. I’ve tried Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> Lanman Workstation and double click Enable insecure guest logons and set it to Enabled, but this hasn’t worked. My friend was an Infrastructure Architect and although I know some IT I haven’t got any idea what to do next. Hoping anybody can help, please?
March 13, 20224 yr Community Expert Push the power button on the front of the serve for about one second. That should shut the server down gracefully in the normal fashion. Now pull the flash drive out of the server and plug it into a PC. Open the flash drive in a file manager on that PC. (That would be 'Windows Explorer' on a Windows PC.) Look for the folder/directory named config and open that directory. Find the files passwd smbpasswd and shadow Rename each of these by renaming them by adding a .BAK extension to them. (You could just delete them but that is a one way path. Renaming you can reverse everything if necessary...) Plug the flash drive back in the server and start it back up. You should now have access to everything. I would then add a password for the root login that is used for the GUI for security. You can also add Share user(s) and setup access rights to the SMB shares if the data is sensitive and should be restricted as these instructions give anyone on the LAN both read/write access to the files on the SMB shares!
