Cannot reset password readynas duo 2000
Cannot reset password on my old ReadyNas Duo 2000. I have followed all instructions and I think I got the OS reinstall to kick in. But after that I tried to click in Install from RaidAr, got the log in page from browser but cannot access with the default password. i.e user:admin and password: password.
it prompt only for https://192.168.1.19/admin/ that the certificate is not secured and
errorcode : DLG_FLAGS_INVALID_CA
I click to continue anyway but it refuse my user and password.
So I cannot access my device in admin mode, but otherwise its work perfect. RaidAr shows everything green and ok. But if I want to use this device I need to access as admin or change admin password sooner or later. Thanks in advanced

Try using netgear1 as the password. That's the default for the original duo v1 (which is likely what you have). The labeling is confusing.
A Duo v1
- Has ReadyNAS Duo on the front panel
- Runs 4.1.x firmware
- Might have a v2 label on the back or bottom
A Duo v2
- Has ReadyNAS Duo v2 on the front panel
- Runs 5.3.x firmware
