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!

      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
