[Solved] Synology DS918+ / Unable to reconnect local NAS after changing password

FOLKS!!!

DO NOT MANUALLY mess with Preferences.xml on DSM 7.

You don’t need that pain!!

  1. Uninstall the package — Use the KEEP option (which is the default)
  2. Reinstall the SAME SPK again
  3. Click “Install using Plex Claim Token” option
  4. Click “Get Plex Claim Token”
  5. COPY the claim token from the browser tab that opens.
  6. PASTE it back into the form on the installer window
  7. NEXT NEXT NEXT and it will start installing.

It takes an extra 20-ish seconds to claim and install.

When it finishes, LOOK CAREFULLY at the report page.

  1. standard permissions info.
    -AND-
  2. Successfully claimed again (shows your Plex account name)

Now you are secure connections ready

Open via http://LAN.IP.of.Syno:32400/web (not app.plex.tv or Quick Connect)
