The admin username is admin.
The default password is password. You are prompted to change the password in your initial setup, but the admin account name itself cannot be changed.
If you can't recall the admin password, you can try the OS reinstall procedure on page 27-28 of the hardware manual: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf?cid=wmt_netgear_organic
This will reset the password back to the default, and also reset the network configuration to the default (DHCP).

That message means it can't connect to the ReadyCloud server. ReadyCloud has been a bit unstable lately (based on several posts here). So it might not be the NAS.
Have you looked on the cloud page in the web ui? It should tell you if it can reach the internet and if the cloud service has been reached.
