Readynas 204 admin page login impossile

Hello, I've a question about my ReadyNas 204.
Unfortunately I've lost the access to the admin-page by the web-browser (I've tried several browsers).
I've access by ftp and I've access by SSH (putty), but any other connection doesn't work (Even no SMB-access or so on).

Does anybody have an idea, what could be the reason? I guess, Maybe it just depends on an wrong config file...but where are them located? Or does anybody know a way to recreate the access by ssh commands and/or by an file-replacement via ftp?

Currently a complete file backup is running and after this I would try to reset / reinstall the NAS system.

Thank you very much in advance for your ideas.

    Have you checked for a full OS partition?

      Note that a full OS partition can result in corrupted configuration files if the system was trying to write to one or more, which it will do for many operations, but especially when creating a share or modifying a share's properties.   Doing an OS re-install may or may not fix them -- some it will and some it won't.  But attempting an OS re-install if the OS partition is too full will typically create even more problems when it also cannot re-write some files.  Likewise, trying to fix them via other means can have similar consequences.  So check this first before you proceed,
