Password Recovery
Model ReadNAS NV+ RND4000 Firmware 4.1.12 I can't remember the password for the admin user and want to modify the internal IP address. I can login thru other user IDs that I've on the system but...
If you do an OS reinstall, the IP configuration is reset to use DHCP and the admin password is set back to the factory default (netgear1). Other settings aren't changed (and the data should be left intact).

Be careful not to do the factory reset, as that will wipe the disks.
