Hi, I have forgot my admin password. I have fist made a factory reset. And I cant login with: admin, password. After that i made a OS reset, and I cant login. What is wrong? Anybody? ...

If you did a factory default then you've lost all your data.
The default password depends on the NAS model. On older 4.x NAS it is netgear1 On newer OS 5 and OS 6 NAS it is password.

What NAS is it? What does RAIDar say about the status of the NAS?
Are you trying to connect to the GUI or to a share?
