Credentials for terminal login on ReadyNAS 212 after Management Service is offline
Been trying to restore access to the admin page of my ReadyNAS 212. Not sure what caused the web interface to quit working. I can see the internal drives but not the external drives in Windows file e...

Thank you for the reply.
So I need to use telnet, not terminal? Does telnet use SSH by default?
Tech support mode was the only way I could get a login prompt for command line login. I've never manually assembled the RAIDS and mounted them.
When I put the NAS back in normal mode Raidar says its syncing the drives. 3 TB
drives, it's going pretty slow: at 10% now.
Any advice is welcome.

telnet is a different protocol from ssh. Either way you end up running the linux command line. But tech support mode doesn't do a normal boot, and there several steps needed to manually mount the data volume.

You don't want to interrupt the sync.

When I booted back into normal mode, the sync started and the web interface is working again. I wish I knew what caused all this. Could the NAS have booted into another mode where the web interface is not available somehow? The NAS finished its nightly backup. A few patches were pushed out to a few servers, nothing to the NAS - its on 6.10. Then when I came in Monday I couldn't login from the browser. Strange... I backed up all the NAS config files immediately after logging in. Don't think I'm out of the woods until the sync finishes though.

I suggested downloading the full log zip file from the logs page.

I did this initially. I see some errors in the system log file. Anything in particular to look for?
I see issues with these commands (in order of appearing)
mdadm - Degraded Event detected on md device /dev/md0
minissdpd - Network is unreachable
apache2 Connect rddclient failed (pages and pages of this)
