I cant access my admin on my NAS drive
I recently purchased new drives to populate my NAS system, 3 1tb SSDs and a singe 6Tb snail drive.
after destroying the old volume I powered down the NAS, removed the old drives and install the new drives. But when i booted the system back up, and try to connect to admin, i get a Message "your conection to this site is not private" meaning it wont log in.
So i go to readycloud.netgear.com/, after loging in my "Home" page says "you have no shared or registered devices". My device is most deffinitly registered, and it shows up on my account on netgear.com.
At this point I go to the "Discover" section on readycloud.netgear.com, i set the nas drive to "Discover mode" and i press discover or retry on the Web page and it says no device discoverd.
At this point i downloaded RAIDar. I install and run RAIDar and it discovers the Nas drive.
All drives are reported and functional
"FIrmware" is "6.10.6"
Satus" is reported "healthy"
"Name" has been reset to some default.
At this point I hit "Offline setup" wish takes me back to the login script for Admin, wich again when i log in i get a message "your conection to this site is not private" and i cannot acess admin.
I also want to point out that there is a woefull lack of infomation on the web abotu how to do much of anythign other than general setup. So google search has relinquished nothing usefull.
All help is greatly appriciated.

You can still log in. Just click on "advanced" and tell it to connect anyway.
The certificate is self-signed, so it cannot be verified by a certificate authority. The connection is still encrypted.
The admin password will have changed back to the default password.

I believe i have solved the problem. After a reboot after the disks had initalized, i was able to use the default login admin and password to begin the process of setup.
