ReadyNAS DUO RND2120 Password reset
I have an old ReadyNAS DUO that has been out of service for a while. The admin password is no longer known, nor is the password recovery answer. My understanding is that the default credentials ...
OK, scratch the above.
I managed to get in using admin / netgear1
Would be nice if the default passwords were listed somewhere - but the entire site is pretty much un-navigable.
Would still like to know what is the latest firmware I should be using for the above device
ReadyNAS DUO RND2120-100UKS v2
Shows in RAIDar as ReadyNAS DUO Firmware 4.1.8
Admin page shows
ReadyNAS DUO X-RAID
Firmware 4.1.8 (1.00a043)
Would also still like to know whwre and how to do a firmware upgrade (if there is one)
Also disk in unit is pretty much fried. What is the largest replacement I can use?
Currently has a signle 2Tb - Can I replace with two 4Tb and put into RAID1?

4.1.15 - http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/30914/~/raidiator-version-4.1.15-(sparc)
If you download and install manually, you need to extract the firmware from the zip file.

No, the max disk size supported by your older ReadyNAS is 2 TB. It doesn't support GPT formatting.
I'd recommend WD20EFRX (WD "Red") drives for your NAS. Seagate Ironwolf (ST2000VN000) are another option.
Hi Stephenb.
Thanks for your help.
NAS all upgraded and singing like new.
Thanks once again.
