lost my login

Quote from beertje53

If I install a new OMV , can I get back to my data or have I lost it ?

No, unless you do something really stupid and install on the data drive instead of the OS drive. That is the reason, why we suggest to disconnect data drives when installing a fresh install.

Who can help me ?

What happens if you try to login via the GUI?

And to avoid typing

RE: Lost Access to OpenMediaVault NAS After Unplugging External SSD (Raspberry Pi 4)

Did you try to restart the Pi with the ssd connected?
Do have access via ssh?
Can you connect a display and a keyboard to the pi to gain access?

You can also connect the ssd to a Laptop/Desktop running Linux (or Windows if you use a Windows filesystem like ntfs - not recommended).

If you have no device running Linux, you can boot into a Linux Live distro.

Unfortunately I lost all the data that was on the hard drives, I only used them with mount linked not wipe, but still everything empty

Make sure you configure shared folders correctly. Use the tree icon to the right of the Relative path field in the GUI to avoid errors when configuring/editing a shared folder.

I can't get it back I'm afraid, what you suggest I can't find.

That button appears when you edit a shared folder.
