Admin settings keeps loading over and over again with the latest firmware.

Hi

 

Having some strange things happening here. I reinstalled my OS on my ReadyNAS 102 yesterday and today when i was trying to go to settings i couldn't use my default password. Installed AVAST to yesterday and today it warned me about my router and NAS security settings so i was about to change the password but i did not even managed to login.

 

Now i have reinstalled the OS once more and after the seccond try it locked my account and told me to try again after 5 mins.

Why is that?

 

Just now i managed to login for a couple of secconds then i bar showed up and it says something about Connecting to the ReadyNAS admin page...... and then nothing happens... it just loads and loads ....

 

After i have loged in a couple of seccond conecting to page is automatically there without me doing anything. And after a while i get the name and passord dialog poping up. It keeps doing this over and over again...

    This is the OS partition ("system volume root").  It's not about how much data you have stored on the NAS.  The full OS partition might be linked to the difficulty in getting the hotfix installed.

     

    There are three ways to fix this:

    1. Engage paid Netgear support to do it for you remotely.  This will require purchase of a support contract.
    2. Backup all your data, do a factory default, and set the NAS up again.
    3. Fix it yourself with ssh.

     

    Since you really don't have much data on the NAS, option 2 is what I'd suggest. If you have no experience with the linux command line, I don't recommend option 3.

     The default password for the admin account is password.  Is that what you were using?

      Yes at first but today I have changed the password because avast complained about the security of my system. I’ve also cleared the browser cache.
      Now when I came in to the computer the admin settings page was loaded and steady.
      Restarting the computer and see if it works.
      Nope it keeps loading over and over again.

        Does it work properly if you disable AVAST?
