SMB Registered user password to ReadyNAS 314 denied in MAC Finder connection
ReadyNAS 314, version 6.7.4, Mac OS 10.12.5
Recently, the SMB access from Finder to the shares will not take the Registered User password (which I verified is correct in Keychain Access). I have to change to Guest. Does not seem to cause an issue, but it has worked for years until lately. Everything is connected via Ethernet, and everything works. Evn the Windows 7 Vitrual Box Virtual Machine is fine, and my wife's Windows 10 PC never asks for a password either.
The admin page says all the folder owners are "guest" and access is anonymous.
What am I doing wrong?

Did you update the Mac OS?
If so, you could try turning off client signing using this guide: https://dpron.com/os-x-10-11-5-slow-smb/
You could also try accessing the NAS share using cifs: instead of smb:
I have the latest slerra 10.12.5, and it is not slow, it just denies registered user access. I will try the cifs connection this weekend. (However, I believe I had problems with that a few years ago.) Is my NAS setup correct? Confused as to why I have Guest ownership and anonymous access set up.
I do not see CIFS access protocol in the ReadyNAS Admin page. I still must access as Guest, whether SMB or AFP from my Macbook. Many others are there, but not CIFS. I have SMB, NFS, AFP enabled, and others are there, but my password is being rejected, which i know is correct.
The links seem to point to the old FrontView formatted pages, not those with my 314.
I remain totally baffled.

Guest ownership and anonymous access are the default settings.
The setup should be working - but I'm not a Mac owner, so my ability to give good advice on OSX is limited.
