Readynas Ultra 2 - Raid is Dead
I have a Readynas Ultra 2 that's just over three years old. It's got two 3TB WD Red drives in it that are less than 6 months old (recently upgraded the drives). When I couldn't access the shares ...

Likely this is your problem: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Backing-up-to-your-ReadyNAS/Crashplan-JRE-update-needed/m-p/985781#M10762
Do you still have ssh access to the NAS?

Okay. Any recommendations on what I can try/next steps to take?

I reread the original linked posted on the problem with Crashplan and JRE version, so I'm starting there. I'm able to put the Readynas into tech support mode so that I can telnet into it, but I can't login. The default admin login/password isn't working, nor is the password for the admin account that I have set. Neither is the account I usually use to login via SSH (and that has sudo authority).
I've done some googling, but I've only come across other posts that say to google for the password, none that actually contain the password (except for the manual which has the default admin username/password that aren't working).
Is there a different telnet password? Where would I find it?
Thanks,
Evan

There is discussion in the thread StephenB linked to on how to resolve it.

Thanks. I saw the link after I posted my last comment and started going down that road. I'm able to put the Readynas into tech support mode so that I can telnet into it, but I can't login.

I did some quick google searches and it was in the top 5 results.
We don't encourage users to use this mode.
Note that if you do find the credentials and use them there are the same support implications as for using root SSH.
