cant enter tech support mode on readynas dui v1
Hi All
First post here as my faithfl readynas is playing up.
I rmeoved my drives as wasnt going to use it anymore, few months later trying to access disks on windows machine to repurpose them but says BAD DISK. AFter a little research it seems my readynas locked these drives hence why nothing else can see them.
I dug out my old readynas v1 from the attic and put teh drives back in but they wont load and just raidar just says BAD DISK - they were working fine when i took them out a while back and been safely stored.
I think i need to SSH into the readynas with the drives in there then unlock them. I have tried telnet to teh device but cant access - the readynas doesnt seem to want to go into tech support mode where i think i need to be to get this done?
Can anyone help?
Many thanks

Are you booting into tech support mode using the procedure on pages 15-16 here: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RND2110/Duov1_NV+v1_HW_en_06Dec11.pdf
- Hi and thanks for the reply. Yes doing that and got in after entering user snd pass. but don’t know what to enter now to unlock the hard disks.
Just trying a factory reset with both supposed bad disks in and will leave overnight. Any idea though what commands I use in tech support mode to j lock the hdd?

hdparm --security-unlock NETGEAR /dev/sdx
of course using the correct drive for sdx
