Enable ROOT User
Enable ROOT User
Annoyingly the root user is disabled when setting up the NAS, however how do you enable it? There is a problem with the tnas.link certificate not being valid for https access (certificate has not expired) but you cannot renew or change this without root access? I've read other posts saying you can use SSH which is fine but where or how do you login with the admin root account?
Re: Enable ROOT User
there is no user named "root" in TOS. But there is a user with the name of the user you used for TOS installation. This user has UID 0 which you can use to connect via SSH and acts as root equivalent

Re: Enable ROOT User
I understand the frustration. Enabling root access on a NAS is generally not recommended for security reasons. It can open up vulnerabilities.
Instead, consult your NAS manual for alternative solutions to address the tnas.link certificate issue. Many NAS devices allow managing certificates without root access.
If you must use SSH, check your NAS manual for specific instructions on enabling SSH access and the appropriate login credentials (which might not be the default admin account).
