A lot of Duo v1 owners mistakenly think they have a Duo v2 - and it is important to know what you have in this case.
A Duo v1
- says ReadyNAS Duo on the front panel
- runs 4.1.x firmware
- might have other labels that say v2.
A Duo v2
- says ReadyNAS Duo v2 on the front panel
- runs 5.3.x firmware
There is an OS reinstall process you can also try from the front panel - that would reset the NAS admin password. But the details on how to do this depend on the platform, so we should confirm that you have a v2 before going into that. The OS reinstall would preserve your data (unlike the factory reset).
