Factory Reset not working using sys button
Hi Netgear, I'm trying to Factory Reset my ReadyNASRNRX4000 but nothing will happen when i pressing the sys button in the front panel. I'd pressed about 10-15 minutes continously of SYS button. Ca...
Yes I did, but after pressing the SYS button for about 10-15 minutes no LEDs lit up, nothing happens.
So you pressed and held the SYS button
Briefly pressed the power button to turn the NAS on
Continued to hold the SYS button?
That could suggest that the SYS button might be faulty.
If you remove the disks from your NAS, wipe the partitions off it (don’t format, delete the partitions) and put the disks back in the NAS this will trigger a factory reset.
Thanks for your quick response.
I have added hard disk into my ReadyNAS after deletion the partitions.
Can you tell me any sign of factory resetting, or it's runing under the process of factory resetting?
How much time normally will take in factory reset.
Hi Netgear,
Nothing had happenned when i was tried to factory resetting my ReadyNAS. Could you help me?
If the disk(s) had no partitions, then powering up with them inserted should have automatically started the factory reset.
Is RAIDar finding the NAS? If so, what status is it reporting?
Also, what firmware is the NAS running, and what model disks (including size) are you using?
