the data is backed up enough. I was going to do the 4.1.10 update and whatnot after I was sure everything was going to work.

Second, insert one drive, update to 4.1.7 (or higher) and do a factory reset? What are the steps to do this?

I'm guessing at some point the ReadyNAS is going to lose the settings I had on it (IP, shares, rights, etc)? What is the default login/password and how do I go about connecting to it?
Thanks
