admin login keeps cycling every 2-3 seconds
I have just upgraded to 6.10.5 and now I can't get into the admin page. I can log in as usual but after 2-3 seconds I am asked to log in again. This keeps cycling. I have cleared the browser caches...

but reinstalling the config is proving to be a problem with unknown server message popping up when trying to restore the file
Just downgrade to 6.10.4 first.
Unless you are confusing restoring the config with installing 6.10.4 firmware???
I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't something about the password itself that's causing the problem. In another thread, a user has this problem on one of multiple NAS. I wonder if they all have the same password.
The password has worked fine in previous versions and the problem exists on both my ReadyNas units. Ill try a different password without any special characters and see what happens
I’ve tried a simple password and the problem persists.
What I don’t get is why if I reboot the OS and sign in with the default "password" password it works ok. Changing the password seems to make the problem happen. I'm going try changing the default password to "password" to see if its the process of change that is causing the problem rather than the characters use.
I have also tried opening my firewall. Normally the ReadyNas units are isolated from the internet. This has note made any difference.
The password changing process seems to be the problem. I rebooted the OS again, logged in using "password" system worked fine. I changed the password to "password" and that created the loop problem. It looks like a bug. How do I get Netgear help for a bug without paying them £80?
Hi Pete10p,
The fix has been applied. Can you check if you can now access the GUI with no issues?
Thank you.
That seems to have fixed the problem. I really appreciate your help.
How do I apply the fix to my other ReadyNas. I reinstalled 6.10.4 do I need to upgrade to 6.10.5?
