Accessing ReadyNAS Ultra 6 Plus
HI there,
I have recently upgraded my ReadyNas Ultra 6 Plus with 3 x 3TB WD Reds up to OS 6. Prior to updating I had issues in trying to access the NAS as when I would enter the URL to connect to the NAS as follows: 1xx.1xx.x.x it would automatically change to the following URL 1xx.1xx.x.x/shares/
but after reinstalling the original OS and restoring to original settings I got there and then did the upgrade. I would then enter the URL again and it still defaults to 1xx.1xx.x.x/shares
I would have to click on the address bar or re-enter the URL as follows 1xx.1xx.x.x/admin
This would then present me with the login screen and I would log in successfully.
Any reason why it defaults to 1xx.1xx.x.x/shares ??
Another funny thing is that I do this on my Mac Mini using google chrome browser as I have always done with my other Ultra Nas's (which all work fine)
When I try it on my MBP for this particular NAS, I enter 1xx.1xx.x.x/admin (as I have to do the same as it defaults to 1xx.1xx.x.x/shares but when I am presented with the login screen and I log in it begins to load but get the Account Locked displayed !!
Again what would cause this ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards to all and thanks in advance.

It is safe to post private addresses (192.168.x.x for instance). They aren't routable over the internet.
My OS 6 NAS don't default to https://x.x.x.x/shares. I am thinking that your browser might auto-completing the address (adding the /shares), not the NAS. If you see that in the address bar, try entering a space after the IP address.

Check if your browser has the old password saved. There have been cases where the browser presents the wrong password more than once, and the NAS enabled a lockout. One option is to open a private (incognito) browser window, and see if that behaves differently.
Hi StephenB,
Many thanks for the reply. LOL Yes I know that about the ipaddresses but was just being lazy and used the x's as just copied and pasted each time.
I had cleared the history in the browser and I don;t save the passwords on chrome as I don;t really use it other than for accessing the NAS's as Safari doesn't like it.
Out of the 3 Readynas Ultra 6's it is the Plus that I am having the issues with unfortunately.
When I get the Account Locked screen on the MBP I am still logged in on the Mac Mini without issue. I am logged in on the other Ultra's on the MBP and Mini without issue at the same time.
Also with regards to the defaulting to the /shares url - it was happening from the first day I received it as purchased second hand. I was on to the seller and he was saying that it is strange as he restored to factory setting prior to putting it up for sale but also there are no shares on the system setup.
Would love to know what is causing this. It's bad enough that I am having issues with my network with strange things going on but thats not for here :)

Still I suggest explicitly browsing to https://x.x.x.x/admin in a private window, and see if that behaves differently.
