I am embarrassed to say that I screwed up and just upgraded directly. I have done it before without issues( although the firmware was not as old as this unit's firmware was)

Mostly a direct update works fine. It's just that because the firmware on your unit was so old, updating the firmware broke Frontview.

The good news is that I don't have any data on the hard drives so there is no risk of destroying any valuable information.

That's good.

You said there is no way to downgrade the firmware without deleting the data. Can you please let me know how to perform this procedure of downgrading with the factory reset?

Not going to suggest how to do that as it's not needed. A factory default (http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_use_the_boot_menu) on 4.1.8 will give you a clean setup on the latest firmware and a working Frontview.

Please let me know what I should do now to correct the situation.

Simply do a factory default via the boot menu (http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_use_the_boot_menu)

Note that the default password has changed on RAIDiator 4.x. See http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/what_is_the_frontview_default_login_and_password_after_a_factory_default

After doing that I'd suggest logging into Frontview, going through the setup wizard (setting new admin password etc). then I'd install the Sparc EnableRootSSH: http://www.readynas.com/?p=4203. A useful add-on that will give you command line access to the NAS via the secure shell. If you're familiar with the linux command line or eager to learn it you'll find that useful. As your unit would be long out of warranty, the support issues surrounding this shouldn't matter as the forum is your support.
