Setting up ReadyNAS

My recommendation is to forget trying to do the initial setup via ReadyCloud, use the offline mode.  The fact that your unit's firmware is very out of date may be a factor with ReadyCloud, so we need to get you into it and do an update.

Is this a new unit?  If so, the user name should be admin (which it always is) and the password is password.  Those are case sensitive.  If it's not new (including the drives installed), then the previous owner may have set a different password.  You will need to do a OS re-install (only resets a few things, including admin password) or Factory Default (as the name implies, resets it to like new, wiping everything including the data -- a good choice for a new-to-you used system).  Then try the local login again.  Once in, update the firmware as soon as it gives you the opportunity.

Instuctions on getting into the boot menu for these options are here: How-do-I-access-the-boot-menu-on-my-ReadyNAS-102-202-212-or-312
