Step by Step instruction/help
I just purchased me a used ReadyNas Pro 4 with 4 - 4TB hard drives allready installed. I have been trying for the past 2 days to try and get it to be seen on the Readcloud but it keeps saying I have ...
I see you saying Back Up what am I backing up nothing on the Hard drives except the music and the vids I put on to test or is there something else to back up

Any files you have on the NAS now will be deleted during the process. So "back up" means "back up anything you want to keep on the NAS".
I realize in your case the NAS is likely near-empty, but it's important that anyone reading this instructions understand the need to back up/restore the files.
Yes, thst is what I thought I was just making sure. Got a question I read somewhere in my research that if I hook up a ethernet cable from my NAS ethernet 1 to my Router and then also hook up a second ethernet cable from my NAS Ethernet 2 to my Router it would be better?? is that True or False?

Generally it's not true.
If you connect both ethernet cables you need to set up "link aggregation" (also called "bonding"). Most of the methods for bonding require special support in the switch or router.
Also, there can only be a speed increase if you have multiple people accessing the NAS at the same time.
Link aggregation can be helpful in corporate settings, where you have a lot of users. In almost home settings there is little to no benefit.
Okay, I did the Steps and it worked, now the issue I am having is loging into the Admin Page. I was able to log in after the upgrade was done and Once more after but now when I try to log in I get this message "The admin account has been locked. There has been too many failed attempts. Please re-login after 5 minutes." I waited all Night and tried this mourning same response after over 6 hours????
The only thing left for me to do is the Memory upgrade but waiting on that to arrive did not want to purchase if this did not work and bricked my NAS
