Here you can restore the system back to its factory default settings. After this, the system 
will return to its pre-initialized state. For security reasons, you will be asked to enter the 
administrator password before performing this operation. You can then initialize the 
system again through Control Center or by logging into ADM.  
Warning: After the system is restored to its factory default settings, all previous 
settings and files will be permanently deleted. You will not be able to recover 
these settings and files. Please ensure that you have backed up the data on your 
NAS before you begin this operation.

After enabling Windows File Service, you can access your NAS via any Windows operating
