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.

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.
