an older ReadynasDuo unit that was working for years. Had a bad disk and had to swap out. Now I can not see my shares
Background
Windows 10
RAIDiator 4.1.16
I can log into the Control Panel of this unit by just going to the IP address or using Raidar
I know UserID and Password
However when I browse Windows "Network" I can not see unit
I implemended all recommendations to correct this from pages found at this site
Issue is when I try to access a share, it asks again for User/Password... and the same credentials I used to get to the control panel of this unit do not work.
see screen shot

I suggest opening the Windows Credential Manager, and deleting any credentials for the NAS. Then create a new one for the IP address that uses "admin" for the username and the NAS admin password for the password.

Sounded like a good solution
exected all steps without any proble
but still have same issue
I can naviget to the control panel of the readyNas
see the shares via the control panel
but when tring to access a share directly, still asks for a password, and password that got me into the NAS control Panel does not work for share
First confirm that the SMB 1 client is still installed on the PC (using "turn windows features on or off").
Then run CMD on the PC and enter
net use * /delete /y net use t: \\nas-ip-address\C /user:admin nas-admin-password
using the real NAS ip address and admin password of course. Be careful on the typing - particularly spaces and direction of the slashes.
The first command should terminate any open SMB sessions on the PC. The second attempts to mount the C data volume as drive letter T on the PC.
