Reconfig ReadyNAS 2100 post Factory Default

I am attempting to repurpose my NAS here at home. When I Factory Reset it I am not able to get to the Admin Setup Wizard. I use the new IP address that it obtained and use the default username and password but it logs into the My Shares page with no options. I ran the RAIDar utility but the NAS is not being discovered. Ideas?

Was the RAID resync still running? The web UI can become non-responsive when that is going on.

Using RAIDar you should be able to run the setup. Have you tried accessing it via NAS_IP/admin? or have you finished the setup already?

  You do need explicitly browse to https://nas-ip-address/admin
  
  It won't redirect to the admin page if you just browse to https://nas-ip-address
  
  The username must be admin; the password for OS 4.2.x is netgear1.

    Yup. I did try that as suggested and it does not work either. Is there a way to reinstall the OS...besides the boot OS Reinstall? That did not seem to work either. Now I cannot ping the device or access the Shares page.
