Cant set up Readynas duo v2
Hi there
I recently aquired a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo v2 (RND2110) from y work as it is no longer needed.
However I am having some issues setting it up.
My main issue seesm to be that when I try to get to the setup page it asks for the adim user name and password. I have tried the default but it does not allow me to log in.
Is there a way of resetting/wiping the whole device and starting again from scratch?
Any help would be good

That serial number indicates that it is a Duo v1 hardware revision 2.
So you will need to look at the instructions for the Duo v1.

Are you certain it is a v2? The labels are misleading - read this article first: http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how-to-tell-whether-i-have-a-duo-v1-or-duo-v2-or-nv-v1-or-nv-v2/
Once we know for certain what your platform is, we can point you to the factory default procedure for your unit. Note that you can also zero (or unformat) the disk drives. Then when the unit is powered on, it will automatically do a factory install.
Thank you very much for the reply.
It does say on the front of the unit V2 however looking over the link the kindly provided the rear of the unit has the same layout as what the link is saying its the DUO v1.
So I am assuming it is a v1 model.
if you could you tell me how to reset so I can start again that woudl be great.
If the front panel says duo v2, then it should be a v2 (arm) platform. So I am somewhat confused. I'll include links to the hardware manuals for both products - the "boot menu" section has the details on the procedures for factory default and OS reinstall.

v2: http://www.readynas.com/download/documentation/HM/ReadyNAS_Duov2_NV+v2_HW_en_19-Sept-11.pdf
You can do an OS reinstall that will reset the admin password and reset the IP address fo use dhcp. Data and the rest of the configuration is preserved. The admin password would be "netgear1" on the v1 platform and "password" on the v2 platform.
Or try the factory default, which will rebuild the NAS from scratch (and destroy any data on the NAS).
