Problems resetting Duo2
I have a ReadyNas Duo2. I have wiped the unit clean and wish to start with a clean unit. I set a password for the unit, and logged the name with a secret code to prompt me to recall my password. My Mac recorded the new password, which does not appear to work. As result I have tried to do a factory resell and a factory reboot also and that does not work. What I would like is a clean unit that I can start again. However the secret password and log in which I though my MacBook recorded does not work.. Neither on several reboots does the admin/password code. Can someone please suggest what I can do to totally clean off the unit and start the system again with the admin/password startup code

Let's start with verifying the model. Many owners of the original Duo mistakenly think they have a Duo v2. That is Netgear's fault - the labeling is confusing.
The original Duo
- says ReadyNAS Duo on the front panel
- runs 4.1.x firmware
- often has labels that include v2 in other places of the chassis.
The Duo v2
- says ReadyNAS Duo v2 on the front panel
- runs 5.x firmware
Please let us know what model you have.
