<p class="first-para">Finally found the trick to gain root access to
the Stora without using the reset + tftp + nfs or a serial port:</p>
<p>First you need to get your Stora’s product key, it’s located
behind the Stora, close to the ethernet port, it’s in the form
“XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX”.</p>
<p>Then you just need to SSH to your Stora with a particular user
which is just one of the users created through the web interface
(the user needs to have the administrator flag selected)
concatenated by the string “_hipserv2_netgear_XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX”
(where XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX is your product key, ALL CAPITAL
LETTERS!), this time you’ll get a password prompt instead of the
“connection to x:22 exited: remote closed the connection”, just
enter the user password, which is the one you use to access your
Stora through the web interface and you’ll get user access. Now to
get root access you just need to write “sudo -s” and enter again
the user password, every ADMINISTRATOR user is allowed to use the
sudo command. You’ll probably get a: “audit_log_user_command():
Connection refused” but it doesn’t matter, you’ll get the root
prompt!</p>
<p>Example: if you created a user named “stora”, flagging the “user
is administrator” during the Stora setup or through the web
interface and your Stora’s product key is “1234-5678-9999-9999”
you just need to ssh to your Stora and use
“stora_hipserv2_netgear_1234-5678-9999-9999” as user, either using
Putty or your favorite SSH client and enter that user’s password,
then “sudo -E -s” and you’ll get root access, that’s it!</p>
