- Thanks so much. All I need to do now is set up my 3 computers to store their data on the readynas. Is this done through shares and how do I start this to continually monitor each pc?

The password for Frontview (the Duo's admin web ui) is purely local - not something to which Netgear has access, and not something they can change remotely.
When you log into Frontview, the username MUST be admin. The default password for the Duo (version 1) is netgear1.
Also, you need to make sure you include /admin in the URL. That is, https://nas-ip-address/admin (using the real NAS IP address of course)
Note you can distinguish the original Duo (v1) from the Duo v2 by looking at the front panel.
- The Duo (v1) says "ReadyNAS Duo"
- The Duo v2 says "ReadyNAS Duo v2".
Ignore other labels.
Let us know
- if you happen to have a Duo v2
- whether the info above helps you regain access.
There are ways you can reset the password, but no need to use them if the instructions above give you access again.
Hi Stephen, I used the admin and netgear1 set yesterday and they worked but today they do not. Even when i type in the URL precisely I just get the username and password screen coming up on a loop???
I have requested a new password but i am not receiving the emails to do this??
Can you help?
By the way its version 1.
