Hello, i turned it off myself. the system has always been running slow and i was trying to disable ipv6. i tried to direct connect my laptop to the unit and access the admin page. the readynas defaulted to an ip and i set my laptop to a static ip to be on same network. i got to admin page login but the login/password would not accept. thanks for your help.

If you can't login as the 'admin' user you could use password recovery or if that is not setup try an OS Re-install: How do I access the boot menu on my ReadyNAS 316, 516, 716?

password recovery not set up. i am backing up all my data (which will take a while) and i will try an OS Re-install. Does the OS Re-install delete any data? thanks for all the help.

No. It will reset the network configuration to use dhcp, and reset the admin password to password. Other settings and data should not be affected
