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

  • 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.
