What account you used to login admin UI page? The "admin" or the ReadyCloud user(you entered in admin UI, Cloud page ReadyCloud panel)?
If you used "admin", and you cannot login with your password, you can reset the local admin password by doing an OS Re-install.
If you used ReadyCloud user to login admin page, since you already upgrade your old ReadyCloud user to MyNetgear account, you should use the MyNetgear account and password to login now.
