ReadyNAS NV+ v1 - no browser access, no share access

Hello, everybody!   I have a NV+ v1 that I have been running as backup unit and it has been running well, although it is SMB1. A few weeks ago I saw that I could not access the shares on it and whe...

Another reboot later:

BUT... still no access. Now it won't accept username / password. As I understand, after O/S reinstall the credential information is reset to admin/netgear1 - but for some reason neither the old nor the new password (netgear1) do not work at all. 😞

But now SMB is working, so at least you can get data off the NAS.

It does a partial reinstall of the OS.  It also changes the network configuration to use DHCP, and (as you say) resets the admin password to netgear1.

 

Are you connecting to https://192.168.1.178/admin ?  or just https://192.168.1.178 ?

Also, have you tried ssh again?

    Yes, SMB is in operation.

    No, ssh won't work as nobody is listening oin port 22. I have checked again to make sure, so I have no doubt now.

    I have tried both https and http protocols, but as neither port 443 or 80 have listeners on them, I get same error as previously.

    I have tried following combinations when trying to access shares:

    - username admin, password netgear1

    - username root, password same as above

    - username 192.168.1.178\admin, password as above

    - username 192.168.1.178\root, password as above

    - I have also tried old passwords, but they did not work.

     

    And yes, I have noticed the change in IP-address after the reinstall, as that machine was on a fixed address before.
