Ready NAS RN212 UNABLE TO CHANGE ADMIN PASSWORD

I had my Ready NAS RN 212 disconnected for a few months.  I hooked it back up but forgot my login and password. I tried the "admin" login but it would not work.  I assumed I changed the "admin" password.  I accessed the Boot Menu and did an OS reset.  After that was complete I was able to access "admin" using default password.  I accessed my account and reset my account password.  I am now able to my account.

 

The issue now is that when I try to change the "admin" password it will not change.  I can enter the Current password field, click in the New Password field and it auto moves to Re-Enter New Password.  The New Password field is blocked, nothing can be entered in this field. I tried on my account and on the "admin" account, both did the same thing.
