It'd be helpful to know if you have the original Duo, or if you have the Duo v2.
The original Duo
- says ReadyNAS Duo on the front panel and in RAIDar
- runs 4.1.x firmware (RAIDar should tell you that)
The v2
- says ReadyNAS Duo v2 on the front panel and in RAIDar
- runs 5.3.x firmware

the NAS is still assigned 192.168.1.2
Then you can access the NAS web ui using https://192.168.1.2/admin. But you need to use Firefox, and set security.tls.version.min to 1 (browse to about:config and search for the setting).
If you don't recall the admin password, the default for the original Duo is netgear1. The default for the v2 is password.

It'll be easier to sort this out after you get admin access.

To access such a legacy NAS, following a complete Windows network reset might require re-adding the ip optional SMB 1.0/CIFS protocol as have in not a part of the default Windows 11 network config. Head to Windows Features, and re-adding the optional SMB 1.0/CIFS support again (both client and server).
A reason why you have to use authentication is because a modern Windows 11 system does. I longer allow anonymous (aka. guest) access, even as a client.
Welcome to the modern world of Windows 11.
