ReadyNAS RND4000 Password recovery email address:
How can I reset the Password Recovery Email needed for the Password reset? I believe I registered my NAS many years ago under a differnt email address.

Yes, an OS re-install will set the password back to the default, netgear1. It will also set the unit to use DHCP if you previously had a static IP set. Unlike a factory default, your files will not be affected.

Thanks for the info
Yes I have forgotten the password and want to reset without a factory reset and losing my data. Is that possible?
