    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?
