"Control Panel" Access
ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus
Firmware 4.2.31
Hello.
I tried to log in to this NAS and it would not accept my password. Repeated attempts failed.
I finally noticed the pop-up box was saying "Control Panel," whether that makes any difference; I'd never really paid attention, and I used the same password for accessing the device UI as for accessing the shares.
https://192.168.1.137 is requesting your username and password. The site says: “Control Panel”
No amount of user set and default username and password combinations worked, so I did an OS install from the Boot Menu.
This time it said "My Shares" and that failed too.
So I have done a Factory Reset (fortunately the NAS was empty of any files) and the system is presently completing the syncing process according to RAIDar. It states that I should be able to access the system but "performance and UI responsiveness may be affected."
It still will not authorize with the default username and password of admin and password.
What are the proper default credentials, and how do I access the regular UI?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

The default password for a NAS running 4.2.x firmware is netgear1, not password.
However, if you have converted your Ultra Plus to run OS 6 firmware, then the default password would be password.

But if you are running 4.2.x firmware, you will run into another issue - the older systems use TLS 1.0, and the browsers have recently deprecated that (and require TLS 1.2). There is more information on this here: https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/Workaround-for-ERR-SSL-VERSION-OR-CIPHER-MISMATCH-problem-for/m-p/2198243
Note you can still use internet explorer to access web ui. Other options are in the link above.

Fantastic! That worked. Thank you StephenB.
I did notice when I tried Chrome and Opera it did not like the UI and refused to budge.
Fortunately I have been using an older version of Firefox (Mac) for a number of reasons, and it still works happily with this NAS UI.
I do greatly appreciate the insight though, and that you took the time to address that important issue proactively.
You are a Guru for a reason!
Cheers.
