Admin account locked out - constantly
Hello, I have recently upgraded to 6.10 on my Readynas 212 and have been constantly hampered by not being able to log into the admin account from Chrome. This occurs 90% of the time stating that too ...
I haven't seen any configuration settings for the lockout and It is only supposed to last for 5 minutes.
FWIW, I haven't been locked out either with Chrome or Firefox, and I have been accessing the NAS admin page pretty frequently. HTTP admin is disabled, so my log ons are all using HTTPS.
After gaining access, I did what I wanted, changed the password and then logged out. After an hour I tried to gain access the Nas. Same problem, admin account is locked out.
It sounds like something on your network is trying to connect with the wrong password. Do you have a device you configured to auto login with the admin password that is now sending the wrong one periodically?

I was wondering that too. It fits the symptoms.
Yes, I will check some of my ultilities for the Nas.
I also have a legacy Readynas Ultra 2 plus running 6.10 that wasn't showing the same symptoms. I thought it a bit strange.
Thanks for the tips.
