You have to connect to CIFS as the first step for these steps to work.

A last resort would be to backup your data and then do a factory default (wipe all data, settings, everything) e.g. via the web=admin interface of the NAS or via the boot menu: http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how_do_i_use_the_boot_menu but it shouldn't need to come to that.
