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...

Suggestions gratefully received for the following problem
I used Reset to reload the firmware and now it refuses any passsword that I know. What do I do? The full sorry saga is below
Bought a Duo 2120 in Jan 2011
Loaded 2 x 2tb disks and RAIDed it
Used it happily in a mixed PC/Mac environment for 6 months
And then the big mistake; Upgraded a MacBook Pro to Lion
Time Machine stopped working - but all was not lost
Uploaded the new firmware
All worked well that day
Then the Mac stopped finding the ReadyNAS
Then it found it but couldn't login
So I decided to go back to basics and do a Reset as per the manual and start again with the backups - I wanted to change how I use the NAS anyway.
Now the thing won't recognise the default ID (admin) and/or Netgear password (password), the older default Netgear password (1234) or the admin password I had previously used to access the device minutes before the Reset. I had used that password on the original firmware and the password was carried over during the Reset. The password prompt facility was lost during Reset.
I can access the drives over Windows Explorer but not open the admin function
HELP (and don't upgrade to Lion until Apple and Netgear have debugged their software)
