Admin page Access Denied
I am unable to access the admin page of my ReadyNAS NVX. I change settings the other week to ind the 2 network adapters and since then I am not able to get onto Admin Page through Browser. Anyone a...
Firmware is 4.2.5
Should read 'Bind' the 2 network adapters. Cant remember which type I selected, it saved and caused access issues at first , so I went back into the settings to deselect the binding and then it was after that that I was then unable to get to the admin page.
I can use NAS as before, but have no access through any browser to Admin page so I cannot do any maintenance or check backups etc.
Ancient firmware btw (May 2009 release). I am thinking you should upgrade it. You might well be running into ancient history bugs.
An OS reinstall would set the IP address to use DHCP and the NAS admin password to "netgear1". Not sure if that will help, since basic IP connectivity is still intact, but that's what I would try next. The best instructions are in the hardware manual: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RNDU2000/ReadyNAS_Ultra_UltraPlus_NVX_Pro_HW_en_8July11.pdf
at wipe harddrive and data, and all my existing settings for access, users, backups etc? Was hoping to avoid that if possible.
An OS Re-install will reset a few settings (mainly things that if configured wrongly will cause you to lose access to the NAS i.e. some network settings and the admin password), but leave most settings and your data intact.
However a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything), so don't do that.Great. Sorry my message seems to have lost the start, but you understood.
Roughly how long does it take, need to think about down time?
