Guidelines from NetGear state that there is a reset button on the password recovery page but that also seems to be missing these days. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to reset my password without needing to reset the OS?

    Thanks

     


     

    Likely you will need to reinstall the OS from the boot menu.  That shouldn't affect your data - it does change a couple of settings, including resetting the admin password.

     

    What model ReadyNAS do you own?
