RND2000 Duov2 - OS reinstall - Password
I am now the owner of a ReadyNAS RND2000 Duo v2which gives me some problems. I have tried to boot the unit with only 1 drive inside using the boot description from your homepage using a clip and holding it as stated. But the only thing happened is that the power LED flashes and drive 2 LED illuminate and that can go on for more than 20 minutes. After that I cannot power off - only by pulling out the power cable (and "kill" the unit). I need the possibility for making an OS reinstall as my password "password" does not give me access to Admin Page.

That label is misleading. The v2 means "hardware revision 2 of the duo v1". If you have a v2, then the front panel would say duo v2.
The default password on the duo v1 is netgear1 not password.
The boot menu instructions are also different - here's a link to the hardware manual: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RND2110/Duov1_NV+v1_HW_en_06Dec11.pdf The boot menu is described on pages 15-16.

Hello HansPirmo,
The S/N: 24M4197E00657 is for a ReadyNAS duo only not v2 It does appear that you are having somewhat trouble accessing the boot menu of the NAS. If the boot menu is no longer responding with or without the hard drives inserted then we can say that the NAS chassis is faulty and you might need to consider getting a new NAS. Hrere is the guide to access the boot menu of the ReadyNAS Duo only.

Dear Marty_M
Thank you for your reply.
It is a little difficult, as the buttomlabel says:
NETGEAR ReadyNAS Duo RND2000 v2
and the S/N label says:
RND2110-100ISS - TA 100-13393-01R32 - S/N 24M4197E00657
But I do my best (I am a young man at 72 years) and I will try to follow the instructions.
Kind regards
