Backup not complete again

You are saying that "myaccount" on the PC has no password? It does have a username, all windows accounts do. It might also help to make sure that the Windows workgroup on the NAS matches the PC.

Well you will have to tell me where it is since I've never created one nor have never been asked for it in over four years with this computer (except for maybe now). NETPLWIZ will take me to the User Accounts where the Reset Password for the administrator account (myname) is greyed out indicating to me that no password exists. The Credential Manager, as expected, shows the existence of passwords for all my other computers but not the desktop in question. I have attempted to use numerous usernames and passwords in the ReadyNAS backup job creation (I do have a self-administrated high security password scheme that I would have used if I ever created one for this computer) but never this provided a solution. If the ReadyCLOUD app can do a backup never asking for a password, it begs the question why the Admin interface can't do one. Tell me where my password might exist. I have an encrypted file that is over ten pages in length where I have recorded every password I have ever created in the last 20 years. I kind of remember that when one installs Windows, the trick was to do a CR when it asked to establish an Administrator password.

I've checked the Workgroups and they match as expected. (Windows default WORKGROUP)

Also, to enable full access to data in the share, you need to ensure that the file permissions in Windows are also set properly. Network access is only part of it. Windows always applies the most restrictive permissions. So both need to be set to full everyone access.

I've been thru the advanced sharing folder steps for the Sourcefolder. My source of what seems to work is the YouTube video by Mammouth Jerk (love that name) entitled How to set a Backup with a Netgear ReadyNAS step by step. The tutorial is using a slightly older version of the ReadyNAS OS but generally the 30 minute video looks like the most viable knowledge source. The Netgear documentation (ReadyNAS OS 6.2 Software Manual is out of date). It indicates that one should be able to use the pull-down menu to select the source but it is greyed out when I am creating the backup job. The destination pull-down menu selection works but I would speculate that maybe because the source is remote, the source selection can't be accessed by the backup job creation process? (Really doesn't make much sense does it?)

Again my next step will be to try to create a backup job on my Windows 8 tablet which does have an Administrator password and see if I can get the backup job creation to execute in that environment. And maybe for argument purposes, I will then try it on my Windows 7 laptop which also has an administrator password. But since I've lost a fast bootup, maybe I should raise the flag and create an Administrator password and see if that solves the problem. One can use the User Accounts settings to avoid having to type a password during the bootup but after wasting two days of my life with this problem, I've gotten stubborn.
