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).

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.

You are a Guru for a reason!
Cheers.
