User account deleted?
Just got one and love it, but surprised to find in the system log that the user account I created was deleted. Don't remember doing that. Don't see a reason why in the log. No e-mail warning. Nothing...

If you only want to use ReadyCLOUD again, access the local GUI with the local admin user and reactivate ReadyCLOUD.
If you want to recover the password of the local admin account: https://kb.netgear.com/22784/How-do-I-recover-a-lost-administrator-password-on-my-ReadyNAS-OS-6-storage-system
Otherwise, to attempt recovery: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/Home-Folder-Dissapeared/m-p/1257891#M127405

Yikes! So is this the first time this kind of thing has happened?

Deletion of ReadyCLOUD home folders due to a ReadyCLOUD server issue, yes, first time and hopefully the last.
