The process for doing a reset is different for different platforms, so let's start by confirming the model. The labeling is confusing, and many v1 owners mistakenly believe they have a v2.
A v1
- runs 4.1.x firmware
- has a part number on the back that ends with -100xxx (xxx is either NAS or a country-specific code)
- might have a label on the back that says v2 (the source of the confusion).
A v2
- runs 5.3.x firmware
- has a part number on the back that ends with -200xxx
- says v2 on the front chassis
Let us know which is these models you purchased,

It apperas to be a V1 so have started a factory reset using the instructions provided and will try to login after that has finished.

Let us know how it goes.
Your v1 is an old device (Netgear stopped manufacturing them in 2011). The max disk size it can handle is 2 TB. Another limitation is that it uses SMB 1.0 - which is being deprecated by Microsoft. You can however still install the client on Windows 10.
