Cannot access admin page
This afternoon my ReadyNAS was inaccessible when I got to the office, so I pressed the power switch twice, and it slowly shut off. Then I pressed the power switch once, and it very slowly restarted,...
You can do an OS-reinstall from the boot menu. That won't affect your data, but will change your admin password back to password.
It will also change your network settings back to factory default (DHCP, no bonding), and it will turn off volume quota (which is one of the settings on the volume settings wheel). Even i fyou don't use quotas, you might want to enable it. Volume quota will give you more info on disk usage for each share (including snapshot space).
Instructions are on pages 50-52 the hardware manual here: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf Just be careful not to do a factory default (which will wipe the disks).
Thanks! I'll try and report back.
