HI all,have a problem with my readyNas 102. Today I had a power interuption and when power was back up again my ready nas was starting automatically. I tried to login over web browser but without success. Cant get any connection over three different pcs. Tried Firefox and IE - no chance! But the strange thing is that I can still see all my drives from the NAS over Windows explorer. I just can't access the admin page...Any ideas?Best regards,Florian

Do you have a backup?Have you tried an OS Re-install?

I don't tried a reinstall because this will destroy my data. This is the only backup I have...

An OS reinstall does not destroy data.A factory default does destroy data.Read the hardware manual.http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/ ... ct2013.pdfWhy do you mean by this is your only backup? Is the nas used as a backup device for other devices, or do you mean all your data is on the nas and that is the only copy ?

Thats not my only backup. But loosing all that data and set it up again is so much work. Can't believe its crewed up because of a power interuption...Can I try anything else?

Have you tried the OS reinstall?You must buy an uninterruptible power supply. They are not expensive and will save you a lot of hassle.

Can't login to ReadyNas102 anymore

Thank you all for your answers!

True! need to think about a UPS. This weekend I'll try a OS reinstall but I fear all the setup work with... The funny thing is that I also can access via ReadyCloud but can't access the admin page. All folders still running via Windows...

If I do a OS reinstall, do I loose also all my settings, like read and write settings, etc.?

Best regards,

Florian

A few settings e.g. admin password, some network settings would be reset, but most settings will remain intact.

Hi all,

I tried to reinstall the OS but without success. Do I have other options than restore to factory defaults?

Thanks,

You could try Netgear support first.
