What do you do if you do have data on the drives? This guide says to not follow in this case and I am stuck at the username and password setting page!

dont know if it could help but i found TOS5 will silently not allow usernames with "admin" as part in it and is preventing to proceed to the next step. So "diskadmin" as username is not accepted
