After the factory default, the NAS admin password is set to password.
Do the setup by browsing to https://nas-ip-address/admin (using the real IP Address of course). No need to change your myNetgear/ReadyCloud account credentials.
Note you can save the configuration first from the system->settings page. After you do the basic setup on the NAS, you can re-install your apps, and then restore the configuration (the order matters). That can save some time.
Because of the issue I'm having unable to DESTROY a n empty Share, I was thinking of resetting back to Factory settings, I do realise all data will be lost but I've copied it all from my PC's to a couple of portable Hard Drives for safety. My query is, if I return to Factory settings can I use my existing credentials on my Netgear and ReadyCloud Accounts to set the NAS up again fro scratch rather than set up a NEW account ?

Thank very much Stephen, that's great news, at least i can repopulate from my saved flies and Folders and leave out the redundant empty Share that I couldn't remove before. It's no longer needed by a Remote User. Than you for the quick reply.
