RN212 Admin Password
Upgraded to Firmware 6.6.0 can't access Admin Page. Cleared Cache. Get Message "Your connection to this site is not private". When I select "Cancel" I get message "Sorry, password recovery has not been set on this device. Due to security reasons, password recovery is not available." I need to clear my snapshots as they are filling the disk space.

It will do that if the password is incorrect (and it won't tell you what the problem is).
You might need to try an OS re-install from the boot menu. That resets the network configuration to use DHCP and also resets the admin password to password
Instructions are on page 53-54 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf
Be careful not do to a factory default, that will destroy your data.

If you choose "cancel" on the log in popup you will end up on the password recovery screen.
So don't do that. Use the browser controls to proceed to the site (overriding the security warning), then enter "admin" for the username and the ReadyNAS admin password on the log in popup.

So I am not even given an opportunity to bypass.
