ReadyNas 102 update to 6.10.5 admin login loop
After running the update to 6.10.5 When I try to login to the admin page, it logs in for 2 seconds and then says "connecting to the ReadyNAS admin page" and then prompts me for username and password ...

The issues seem to be linked to running backups that do not complete which locks out the unit.
This seems rather odd, and I'd have expected to see an issue like this posted here already.
Can you describe the backups that are failing (protocol, push or pull, etc)?
The problem is not consistent.
I have two units (102's) both with local USB backup.
The backup did run daily until I changed the schedule. I changed the backup schedule just to ensure easy access to the files for day-today use.
When I did run the daily backup, once, or twice a week I could not access the admin screen and the units would not shut down on the power schedule. Share access was also locked out so that I could not access files from PC’s etc.
Sometimes the units would not do an orderly shutdown using the front power button and had to be powered down by removing the power supply. Looking at the logs it appeared that the backup had stalled on specific file/files. There didn’t appear to be a pattern relating to the problem.
When I re-ran the backup on the same file/files, it completed without issue and the unit did not hang.
The next time it failed it would be on different file/files.
The units have different manufacturer USB drives attached.
I'm wondering if you are running out of system resources.
Do you have apps installed? If so, which ones?
If you have services enabled that you don't use, you could try disabling them (NFS if you don't use Linux, AFP if you don't use MacOS, etc).
