Can't log in to ReadyCloud - need to delete cloud user.
I have a ReadyNAS 314 that has, in the past, been connected to ReadyCLOUD. After some difficulties with it, and having to wipe volumes etc I am left with a username in the cloud users tab, but the NAS no longer connects to ReadyCLOUD, with a 'local user with the same name already exists' error.
I cannot delete the cloud user (as I can't get it to log in to ReadyCLOUD to do so). Can't see why they didn't give you a local delete option. Just sayin'....
I can't delete the cloud user's Home Directory unless I delete the user.
I can't create a new user of the same name (to then delete and hope it deletes the Home Directory with it), as it says user already exists.
I can't get into ReadyCLOUD, and round in circles I go......
Any ideas? Could I SSH in and do it? Plenty of Winows experience but a bit of a N00b in Linux, so I'd need to know where the user exists and what to delete.
Help!!!
Thanks In advance.

Hello
It seems you have not unregistered ReadyCLOUD completely last time,so you will not be able to register the same account to ReadyCLOUD because the account is still saved in /etc/passwd
There is an easy way to delete ReadyCLOUD account information completely in ReadyOS
The steps as follow:
Register a new MyNETGEAR account in http://readycloud.netgear.com
Use the new account to register ReadyCLOUD in ReadyNAS admin console
unregister ReadyCLOUD and use your old MyNETGEAR account to register ReadyCLOUD again.

Not a single clue from anyone?
Netgear/Infrant mods? Anything?
Thanks.

Fantastic! Thanks very much. Worked like a charm. I now have all my ReadyNAS's snuggly under one roof, with the same account.
I much appreciate yourhelp and expertise.
