Admin Password Doesn't Work for USB readyshare drive
Admin login/password is denied when accessing a hard drive connected to the modem via USB that was read/write protected in routerlogin.net. If the drive is not protected, no problem accessing via...
I have the exact same problem, I can access folders without password protection enabled, but as soon as i enable password protection read/write I'm unable.
Even if i have password protection on and try to access the folders LOCALLY, i'm unable to because it won't accept my login credentials.
I assume the username should be "admin" and password my Routers login password.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Raiden64,
1. What is the model number and firmware version of your device?
2. Have you tried using another storage device (another HDD, flash drive)?
3. Does the issue persist if you access it using another device?

Thanks for your reply, and sorry to Hijack this thread.
I have a video I recorded showing my problem.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVVpriZnPAg&feature=youtu.be
If I have a folder with "Admin" enabled like shown in the video I can't access it from any device including Netgear genie from my iPhone, even with the correct login info.
If I try accessing it from my iPhone with Netgear genie, I get RED text saying "permission Denied"
I can however access it from the FTP in the browser from my Desktop PC (local machine) with the Router login information.
As shown here: https://youtu.be/V2gZaohceSU
I have also tried my Computer login info when trying to access it locally on my Machine, still didn't work.
I have a Nighthawk R8500 with the latest firmware Firmware Version
V1.0.2.64_1.0.62
