If you ever had a problem with your Synology DiskStation, you might have
|
|
stumbled upon the emergency telnet access or even the serial port on the PCB.
|
|
|
|
Or maybe you just wanted to set it (or XPEnology) up and needed the `root`
|
|
password to configure a static IP in order to access the web based setup.
|
|
|
|
But what is the password?
|
|
|
|
Luckily, Gui Ambros took a look at the GPL'ed source code and
|
|
[made a small C snippet](https://wrgms.com/synologys-secret-telnet-password/)
|
|
to generate that password.
|
|
|
|
It is based on the current day and month.
|
|
|
|
<script>
|
|
var today = new Date();
|
|
var d = today.getDate();
|
|
var m = today.getMonth() + 1;
|
|
|
|
var mh = m.toString(16);
|
|
var pm = ('0' + m).substr(-2);
|
|
var pdh = ('0' + d.toString(16)).substr(-2);
|
|
|
|
var months = ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July',
|
|
'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'];
|
|
|
|
function gcd(x, y) {
|
|
return y?gcd(y, x%y):Math.abs(x);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
var x = gcd(d, m);
|
|
var px = ('0' + x).substr(-2);
|
|
|
|
document.write('Today\'s (' + d + ' ' + months[m-1] + ') password is: <code>' + mh + pm + '-' + pdh + px + '</code>');
|
|
</script>
|
|
|
|
The structure is like this:
|
|
|
|
1. Current month in hexadecimal, lower case (Jan:`1`, Feb:`2`, … , Oct:`a`, Nov:`b`, Dec:`c`)
|
|
1. Current month in decimal, 2 characters, zero padded (`01`, `02`, …, `11`, `12`)
|
|
1. Minus (`-`)
|
|
1. Current day of the month in hex, 2 characters, zero padded, lower case (`01`, `02`, …, 10:`0a`, …, 30:`1e`, 31:`1f`)
|
|
1. [Greatest common divisor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatest_common_divisor) between month and day, 2 characters, zero padded (`01`, …, `12`)
|
|
|
|
Here is a small Python snippet to calculate today's password:
|
|
|
|
{% highlight python %}
|
|
from datetime import date
|
|
import fractions
|
|
|
|
today = date.today()
|
|
m = today.month
|
|
d = today.day
|
|
|
|
print("%x%02d-%02x%02d" % (m, m, d, fractions.gcd(d, m)))
|
|
{% endhighlight %}
|
|
|
|
And if you look at the source code of this page, you'll find the JavaScript
|
|
which calculates the code displayed above.
|
|
|
|
<p><div class="notetip" markdown="1">
|
|
If the generated password doesn't work, also try `101-0101`. After a bootup, the
|
|
time might be reset to 1 January 1970.
|
|
</div></p>
|
|
|
|
By the way: This password doesn't work for SSH after you've setup your Synology.
|
|
After the setup, the `root` password is that of your `admin` user.
