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...

That is interesting. Do you have ReadyCloud (or other cloud apps) turned on in your original config?

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

Reverting to 6.10.4 works fine and the systems works OK with login acting normally.
A seperate issue was that after I defaulted the OS and tried to reload my original config. When I did that that's when I got the server not recognised error message. I tried both over my lan and using a USB stick in the front usb port.
