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.

    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.

      Hello StephensHomes,

       

      You must be referring to the browser security just like the on from this article which you just need to proceed and not to cancel.

       

      Username is admin and by default password is the word password.

       

      Regards,

        Thanks JennC...

         

        However, this is what I am getting:

        So I am not even given an opportunity to bypass.
