No access despite reset
I purchased my ReadyNAS Duo v1 and registered it back in 2010. I used it once or twice to back up the computer I was using back then.
Just recently I decided to see what was on those 6 year old drives and see if there were any personal documents or images that I may want.
I have bought a newer Windows PC since I last used the ReadyNAS.
On my latest PC I find I am not able to access the NAS.
So I have tried these two options.
1. Factory Reset but the Authentication doesn't accept these;
User name: admin
Password: password
2. Password Recovery Tool
I complete this and answer the Recovery Question and am told that I will receive an email (the same one that I registered with in 2010) but no email arrives nor does anything go into my spam box!
BTW My old PC is dead so I cannot use that for access.
Can anyone help me please?

The link you have quoted above is for Readynas OS 6 (and relates to Raidator 5.3)
Your Duo V1 is probably running on Raidator 4.0
See this link http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/21438
The Duo v1 can only run RAIDiator 4 and was replaced in our lineup back in 2011.
The last of the products that had the default password of 'netgear1' was discontinued back in 2013.Most of the articles refer to newer products than what you have.
