ReadyNas 214: Unable to Logon after FW Update

Hello all

 

I just updated my ReadyNas 214 this morning and after it Rebooted I can no longer access it as it asks for the Admin Password but it is not being accepted.

 

The ReadyNas shows up in File Explorer and I have tried accessing it from Microsoft Edge on Windows 10, Android Phone and also Microsoft Internet Explorer on Windows 10 all with the same result.

 

I have tried the Password Recovery but when I enter the details all I get is the spinning wheel.

 

Everything was working fine prior to the FW Update.

 

Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Kevin

    Hello Sandshark 

     

    Yes, I tried the Default Password but nothing worked.

     

    I am happy to report though that I have just finished performing an OS Reinstall from the Boot Menu which worked, it Reset a few Settings including the Admin Password but at least I can now access it again.

     

    Thanks

    Did you try the default password password?  While an OS update isn't supposed to change it, an OS re-install does, and maybe something got confused in your update.
