ReadyNAS 104 asking me to 'Authenticate' before drag and drop
I don’t use my ReadyNAS 104 very much but tonight I ran into a problem I hadn’t come across before. I was trying to drag and drop some files from one of my Macs to my ReadyNAS. I’m sure I’ve done ...
What firmware are you running on the NAS?
Did you try entering "admin" and then the NAS admin user password at the prompt?
Where you in fact trying to change the NAS hostname????
Thanks StephenB for replying and my apologies for my delayed reply. I'm afraid I became very busy and the email scrolled off the end of my Gmail page and I just forgot about it.
As I said I'm running the latest firmware. It says 6.6.0 on the opening splash screen.
I think I tried 'admin' at some stage but as I said the message I get doesn't make any sense since I have no option to 'Authenticate' available to me. I''ll try logging into my NAS with 'admin' but right now I don't know what password I'd use. I'll have to go back over my notes made when I first set up the NAS. I did say I'm a newbie to the whole NAS thing and haven't fully got my head around all the options.
All I was trying to do was what I'd done before without any 'authenticate' issues - drag a file from my Mac to my NAS drive.
Thanks!
Probably its best to find your NAS admin password, so you can try finder with those credentials. You need them anyway to change any settings on the NAS.
Thanks StephenB.
I'm sure you're right. I'll chase up my original setup info and try what you suggested.
Regards.
