READYNAS RN104 ADMIN ACCOUNT LOCKOUT

I performed an upgrade on my ReadyNas 10400 to the latest version (firmware v6.8.0). I then logged into the admin page and tried to reset the default admin group name account name to a different name...

Sorry about this bug. We seem to have missed this in testing. You should not be able to change the admin group name. The system relies on a group called admin to work properly.

If you're having a problem caused by changing the admin group name in 6.8, please PM me and I can walk you through getting it fixed. We'll fix it in an upcoming release.

Thanks.

Hello and thanks. Mdgm was able to PM me instructions to resolve it via SSH. I am good to go now.

I had tried accessing \\IPaddr and only always saw the Admin empty folder in there but I added the "\data " and can see all the shares in there - Fantastic : I am making a local copy, I no longer trust the NAS to keep my data there and consider it safe. Thanks for the suggestion - God bless :) !!!

BTW, @moderator, thanks so much for fixing my renamed Admin account but I have a question/ I can now see two admin Groups in there: One is Admin GUID 102 and the other is admin GUID 98. Which of those is the real sacred admin group that should not be touched? Thanks again.

Since accessing the shares via \\IPaddress\data appears to work fine, you were right on the ball when saying "The ReadyNAS database is out of sync with the folders/subvolumes on the disk."
How can I fix that so that the shares show in the Web interface as well?
Thank you for your help.

  At this point, your cleanest solution to insure evverything is back in sync is to copy off the data, do a factory default, and restore the data.

    I agree. The concern here is that there might be other stuff out of sync where the effects are more subtle.
