Default Admin/Netgear1 Logon Doesnt Work (#8463338)
Hello Forum Long time reader, finally got the ReadyNas Duo 2150 for Chirstmas today! Very excited and was already planning my "wow, this set up incredibly easy" post of recommendation when I got to...
SOLVED!!
I cant believe it....this is so random.
I zoned out watching TV while holding in the paper clip to hard reset and this time after 3-4 minutes, the NAS booted up in a different way than ever before. It took 10-20 minutes of "provisioning" time (my term, not a technical term seen anywhere) and then I was able to use the provided Netgear default login and password

To those who go after me, a few tips.
Keep the paper clip in for a long time
Watch the RAIDar screen all the way to the right and it will tell you what stage of the format it is in, this took about 20 minutes until I could even log in to the NAS
Once logged in, it immediately started mirroring my 2nd drive to match the first. Even though the first drive was empty, it still took this time to "sync" the drive. As they are both 1TB drives, it took 3+ hours to sync the drives even with nothing on them. I left it on overnight and it was done in the morning.
Thanks to Ewok, Chirpa, DG, and the Netgear techs...saviors.
