With the replacement unit off, inserting your drives in and then booting, your unit should come right up with all of your configuration, password, etc. intact.
You may also want to bump the case over mre Gomez's head. As far as I know, it is still Netgear's policy to replace the PSU in those units that fall within the service action serial number range. On top of that, mdgm is usually on top of those warranty coverages and dates. That being the case, you unit should in fact still be under warranty, and even if it were not if your serial number falls in that range, it would still have the PSU covered in the informal extension of coverage. They have been covering the PSU as recently as the last few weeks.
In some cases they have sent out a replacement PSU, and asked for the return of the failed unit. In some cases, they have shipped out refurbished NV+ units and asked for the old NV+.
If you can not get reasonable response from Mr. Gomez's supervisor to cover at least the PSU, consider contacting one of the Jedi's by PM. Their screen id's are in red.
The default password for newly set up or factory defaulted units was infrant1 up until RAIDiator 4.00 at which time it became netgear1. The userid has always been and continues to be admin (cannot be changed). However, the configuration is on the drives, so when booting from your drives, your password should be used.
The drives are formatted with Ext and use a modified form for 4K blocks (different from the new 4K sectors on some drives) and can be read, but it is not an easy process. Unfortunately, the best way to read a set of NV+ drives is on another NV+.
