Hello all,
I am facing the same issue as described above..
* The https://NAS-IP/password_recovery will not work - it wil say it has send me an email, but the email never arrives
* I have reset my NAS (and pressed the "RESET" button in the back), but without any luck.
Still it will not reset to the standard username / password ("admin" / "netgear1").. :(
After 6 hours of trying I am getting a bit lost and confused what I am supposed to do now, help plz.. :wink:
