I ask buyer to send me back ReadyNAS DUO for 1-2 days to unlock my hard drives.
I just got package. I insert disks and make factory reset.
It stuck on "Disk initialization" for about 3 hours from now. How long it take? RAIDar shows IP: 192.168.168.168

I also tryied to connect directrly to NAS and change my Mac IP to 192.168.168.5

nope, I did't for now.
In mdgm link i read that he solve problem with rebulid xraid, so I try this for now.
for i=0:15 password[i] = 0xbeef + i; // 2-byte short word We use big-endian while Intel uses little-endian, so password on PC may be: 0xefbe, 0xf0be, ... Sorry for picking up beef as password.
I don't know programming so I don't know what other combination will be. I try first 2 provides with no result.
