ReadyNAS 102 Factory Reset not accepting 'Password'
Hadn't been using my ReadyNAS 102 for a while (18 months) and couldn't find the correct username/password to set it up again (Mac Keychain versions were incorrect for some reason) so tried a reset, ...
Are you certain this is an RN102? (I ask because you selected the RND2110 Duo as your model, which is a very different platform). The Duo uses netgear1 as the default password.
Assuming it is an RN102 - the most likely cause is that the factory reset didn't "take". Did you use the procedure in the hardware manual? It's on pages 20-21 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf
The boot menu options for the old Duo are different btw.

Thanks for that.
Yes it is a 102 and about an hour after posting I managed to stumble on on the 'netgear1' password requirement. This was the problem rather than a failure in the reset. Even so, I thoroughly appreciate the effort you've gone to.
As for the RND 2110, that was selected in error. Sorry for any confusion.
Cheers
