No (unless something goes horribly wrong). A factory default will, so be careful not to do that.
Instructions are on page 24 of the user manual here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf

- reset the admin password to password
- set the network configuration to use dhcp (and disable link aggregration if used)
- turn off volume quota (on the volume settings wheel).
