Firmware Upgrade Failed

[doddleson]

For some reason I decided to upgrade the firmware to v1.00.08 and now I have probably lost all my data. The upgrade stalled at 5% and I attempted to install it several times to no avail. Using my powers of stupidity I restarted the d**n thing and now I cannot log into it via a browser. I have tried the Wizard, which sees the machine, and it shows the firmware at v1.00.08, however, it can never get past the password reset.

On the front of the box all the lights are green and the HDs are blue. The RAID is “healthy” and link aggr is disabled. Does anyone have any ideas? At this point I am willing to part with the data just to get the machine up and running again.

Disregard this post. Thanks to an excellent posting by "buddha" I was able to salvage the situation. In my panic all reason melted away.

Could you please include the link to the buddha's post?

It concerns a script he wrote and the use of a USB Flash Drive.
