Admin password lost
Hey there everyone,
I'm having a problem here with my admin login.
I did a OSreinstal and allready reseted him to the Factory settings though the admin login doesn't work. Well the password doesn't.
I tried the standard pass and login :
admin
password
admin
1234
admin
admin
But nothing seems to be working, anyone got an idea what i'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

Which model ReadyNAS do you have and whch Firmware have you re-installed
- StephenBGuru - Experienced User
Newer ReadyNAS (firmware 5.x.x and 6.x.x) use admin/password as the default.
Older NAS (firmware 4.1.x and 4.2.x) use admin/netgear1 as the default. A very old ReadyNAS might use admin/infrant1

Hey there StephenB,
Thank you so much, I forgot to mention the firmware... indeed it was the default passwoord for the 4.1.x ...
Thanks!
