One thing you could try is pulling the disk you just inserted, and see if that restores admin access. If it does, then download the full log zip and look in there for clues on what is going wrong.
I tried again before I read your message and it let me log in, I was able to get it to start syncing. I do not know what to try next time it will not let me log in as next time there will not be a new drive, as I said even before replacing drive it would not always let me log into admin page. RAIDar sees it and whether I click on RAIDar to open the admin page or I myself type in the IP/admin sometime it will sometimes it won't, but thanks for your help
If/when it completes, download the full log zip right away, and see if you find any errors during the sync. System.log, kernel.log, systemd-journal.log are all good places to look.
Normally you do get admin access during sync. But the web server does run at lower priority than other processes, and if something isn't going well, then you can end up struggling to get access. I'm not saying something is failing - just that it is a warning sign when access to the web ui is hit-or-miss.
