Root Access Denied with SSH Enabled
I am trying to get Crashpan running on my Ultra 4. To do this I need Root access via SSH with PuTTY. I have installed EnableRootSSH but when I log in as Root with my normal Admin password I get an access denied message, I have also tried the default 'netgear1' but get the same access denied.
I have tried reinstalling EnableRootSSH, using ToggleSSH to disable it and re-enable it but every time I get the same result. I am also setting up an new NV+2 and have been able to get SSH root access on it, so the problem seems to be with my Ultra rather than with my proceedure
Any help would be appreciated

- In /etc/default/services do you have SSH=1 ?
- Yes
SSH=1
SSHKEY=rsa
Those are the only refs to SSH - You could try the suggestion here: http://sphardy.com/web/readynas/restoring-ssh-access/
- Thanks for all your help. Just tried that without success I'm afraid. I'm puzzled that this is causing me so much bother as I never had SSH enabled till yesterday so haven't edited anything I shouldn't have. Unless one of the addons has messed with settings in the background.
- I don't know if it provides any pointers but I have just tried to change my admin password and even though the ReadyNAS tells me that it has changed, when I log out and back in, it still only accepts the old one.
