Problem initializing RN214

I have factory reset my ReadyNAS RN214.

I was going through the basic set up. At the last stage where I would get to get to the general administration screen, I get error message: 

Failed to set admin password: 13002010001.

 

I have attcahed 2 screenshots.

 

Any advice would be welcome.

 

Thank you

    Can you log into https://nas-ip-address/admin using the default admin password (which is password)?  Use the real IP address of the NAS of course.

      Thank you for the suggestion.

      In the interim, I just cancelled the process.

      I used Raidar to get to the admin page and managed to login using the new password that seemingly had been rejected.

      I was then also able to set up a recovery password.

      I am  not sure why this issue happened after factory reset but it seems to be ok now.

       

      Thank you
