Get cgi-bin/luci instead of admin page?
Hello, I have not logged into my NAS for a while from a computer, just accessed files via SMB or Linux shares. I am now trying to log in, but instead of getting the ReadyNAS admin page, it goes to http://192.168.xx.xx/cgi-bin/luci
Here it is asking me for my root password. I can't get past this screen, and none of my passwords are working. I did an OS re-install and that didn't fix the problem.
I also can't login in via ssh either.
Help!
Thanks
Finally solved it. Leaving some paper trail for others:
- There are a few reasons why DNS servers will change, here is some information on this: DNS Servers Keep Changing Away from OpenDNS Automatically – OpenDNS.
- Turning Parental Controls on or off has no impact on the ability to change the DNS servers.
- How to change the DNS servers if they are "grayed out": factory reset the router without being plugged into internet. You will have to proceed even past scary warnings that you should not set up the router without being connected to the internet. If you are configuring your own DNS settings then you probably know what you are doing, however. The DNS server settings will be configurable after factor reset. Once you have configured them, you can now connect internet (eg, from your cable modem). You will find that the DNS servers are "locked" / grayed out once again, but at least they will be your chosen DNS servers.

Hello Torontotom,
Have you tried http://<NAS IP>/admin in the address bar?
As well as clearing the browser cache.
Regards,
Hi,
I cleared my browser cache, and tried a few different browsers and had the same result on all of them. Also, when I try typing in the full address you mention, I get a URL not found message.I figured it out. Suffice to say I am a moron and nothing was wrong. Thanks for trying to help.
