ReadyNAS RN312 HDMI/USB keyboard login
Greetings,
Since these forums does not provide the "new thread" function to newcomers, I'm very sorry for hijacking this thread. Nevertheless, this is my problem.
I have purchased the ReadyNAS product and I have established admin name and password [name is admin, password is password]. My question is, when I want to log in to the NAS through keyboard via itself [hdmi for video/USB for keyboard], there's command line asking for: "login" and rightafter "password". I tried everything. I tried admin/administrator, even the name of the NAS. I also tried the default passwords, via 12345, password, everything I could find on the internet, etc. Nothing works,
Please advise,
regards
Bryan

- Just for fun, try root, using the current admin password.
(Split off from original topic) - Thank You very much kind sir! I'm gonna try it right away,
//close, but no cigar :( thank You anyway for Your superfast reaction! any other suggestions?

uplink - Enable the SSH service in the Dashboard then try logging on as user 'root' with the password for the 'admin' user.
Using SSH you can login from your PC e.g. Using Putty on Windows or the Terminal on Mac/Linux. - Greetings,
Thank You for Your fast reply! I will try it as soon as my disk array is finished rebuilding [~10 more minutes] and I can restart the nas. I enabled the SSH in the dashboard, but am unable to view anything from the HDMi yet, I'll update my post as soon as I get somewhere,
Thank You once more,
Regards
uplink - I don't think you need to reboot.
Press any key to wake up the HDMI display (it goes to sleep automatically after a period of inactivity) then try logging in again as the 'root' user. - Ow that worked :) thank You! :) and now, since there's no linux GUi present, only command line and help, I'm returning to my windows environment. I just needed to know what's there [hoped there'll be some advanced GUi, I guess it's only installable, not already present], prolly I'll study up some commands in order to be more effective, when windows GUi isn't available,
Thank You all guys, You really helped me!
Regards
