Password issues trying to restore a backup from a DROBO
I back up my machine nightly. And now I find that I have to restore my machine to the state it was in last night. So I pop in my CD and boot into Acronis 64-bit mode. I browse the workgroup that contains the DROBO and find the directory that contains my backups and verify that it contains all of said backup files. When I select the file to restore, it says that I need to authenticate. So I hit the authentication settings button and type in my DROBO username and password and it says that it connected successfully. Except that it doesn't. In fact, I can enter any random user name and pw and it says that it connected successfully so I know that's not true. I tried ignoring it but I get an error when I try to restore saying that it "cannot find version 2". So my question is: how the heck do I get it to actually properly authenticate? I don't get why it says that it connected with the username/pw fine when again I can enter any invalid combo and it seems to think it connects.
