Your ClamAV installation is OUTDATED!

FWIW, 6.10.5 is now released. It seems unlikely that it would reset the admin password (esp. a couple of days after the update).
But you can do a clean shutdown by pressing the power button twice. See page 35 here: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf
Then power up the system and see if your old admin password works. If it doesn't then try the default password (which is password)
If those steps fail, you can also do an OS reinstall from the boot menu. Instructions are on page 37 of the manual I linked in above.
The OS reinstall will
- reset the admin password back to password
- reset the network configuration to use DHCP
- turn off volume quota (which can be re-enabled via the volume settings wheel).
Hi John
So i finally decided to buckle and installed the beta version everything seemed ok for a day or two then later i am unable to access any of my drives via my pc, so trying to log in to do a soft re-start it appears that a different password has been sewt (not by me) tried this new password (@newdig) no joy in getting in, so gone for a forgot password and reset password this isnt working either, so great now completely locked out, should of stuck with my intitial beliefs.

- Hi Stephen, that was a bit wierd, but a bit of perseverance I eventually managed to get in with password, done a soft reboot all seems back to normal now, I do have plex on there and also uploaded a couple of things to the server last night so I will monitor and keep an eye on it.
Good news is it looks like my virus definitions are now up to date.
Thanks for your help.
