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 ...
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.
I am having this problem as well. The ReadyNAS is re-synching (one of the drives was showing errors), and the session timed out. When I attempted to login in again, I got the "Too many attempts" error. I reset the password through the web interface, but still not able to login. I am able to ssh with the new password. This sucks.
FYI, I just upgraded to the latest release.
UPDATE
OS 6.10.0 Hotfix 2
I waited six minutes, then logged in with the password that the system emailed me after too many failed attempts. The ReadyNAS allowed me to login, and I was able to reset the password.
This was a bit scary, to say the least.
