Fresh Costumer to ReadyNAS 104, quick review and some questions...
Hello dear friends... For some years now, i have being using home NAS to Cloud Services, since the BITCASA Fiasco, where i lost some very important files that where irreplacable... Being a very cau...
Hello,
I am a bit confused, because by entering the IP address you would normally access the local admin page which can only be accessed by one user, the admin (username: admin cannot be changed).
But since you are saying that you use a different username to access the ReadyNAS you could be talking about accessing the ReadyCLOUD website readycloud.netgear.com from which you can also access the local admin page. Maybe this is the way that you are proceeding. For ReadyCLOUD you have a different admin whose name can be chosen freely.
To change this name you need to go back to the local admin page and head to the Cloud-Tab. If you then go to the “ReadyCLOUD section > Settings > Leave” your device will be disjoined from ReadyCLOUD. By setting the ReadyCLOUD toggle switch back to on in the same section you will be able to choose a new ReadyCLOUD admin account.
However, and there is something I do not know, you might not be able to choose the name admin as a username for the ReadyCLOUD admin. This could be due to the fact that usernames for ReadyCLOUD users have to differ from usernames of local users on the ReadyNAS.
The display will turn off after a period of time. To light the display please press the power button once. This will have the only effect of turning on the display. Pressing the power multiple times will soft power off the device.
Bye,

Hello Eskender,
Thanks for your reply.
I will give my example... to access the ReadyNAS OS i got to my Browser and put: 192.168.1.69/admin this will ask me username and password.
I will put my username "Birdie" and my password, after this i go inside the NAS OS.
From what you are telling me, there is another access to the NAS OS? or even another set of options from another type of entry?
If so how can i access it?
As for the Light on of the display, you are correct, if i press the power button the display will light up... but for a few seconds only...
Its not possible to mantain the display allways on? The idea here is when i look to the NAS i get some usefull information, without having to enter the ReadyNAS OS to get it...
With my best regards,
Paulo Eduardo

My system rejects my log on if I enter a different username. What firmware are you running? Is "Birdie" in the user group on the accounts list?
You might want to use your 90-day support this, something is wrong if the admin page is accepting user account log ons.
Hello Stephen!
Thanks for your Reply,
Strange i just enter the username i register at the first activation of the NAS and then the password and go to the NAS OS.
Im using the 6.2.5 Firmware. the NAS did came with the 6.2.0 Firmware and it was activated with that version, only then it was firmware updated to the last oficial Firmware.
I don´t have any user groups, or even users active, i do enter as admin, im the solo user of this NAS.
I will try the user "admin" approach to see what happens...
Best Regards,
Paulo Eduardo
