Since you started over with a new drive, you need to enter the default password, not the one your friend used. His is stored on the drives he removed.
If you really have a DuoV2 (due to a poor decision on Netgear's part regarding labeling, it can be confusing), then it will say "V2" on the front and the part number will end in -200xxx (where xxx is NAS or some other country code). In that case, the default password is password.
If you actually have a V1 (with a label on the bottom that says V2), which will have a part number ending in -100xxx, the default password is netgear1.
Just to add here is an article on how to determine the units if they are V1 or V2.
OS Reinstall V1 and OS Reinstall V2 guides
Hope this helps!
