wrong login credentials?

Hi all, Unfortunately running into problems while setting up my ReadyNas 102. Followed instructions for setup and get as far as "discovery", which doesn't work. Onward to the second option by Raid...

    It seems strange that a new setup wouldn't accept to the default credentials.  You tried the URL I gave above?

     

    Doing either a factory default or an OS reinstall from the boot menu should reset the credential back to admin/password.

Hi KleintjePils,

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

You may try doing an OS re-install so the admin credentials will go back to default. You may visit this link for the procedure on how to access the boot menu and select the OS re-install.

    Hi John,

    Thanks for your answer. However, I can't even get to the setup of the Netgear, so I have no OS installed yet...
    I'm wondering if a factory default boot would do the trick?
    Thnx in advance

    Hi KleintjePils,

     

    There should already be an OS installed on that but if there is still no data on the NAS, you can also do the factory default boot.

      Try https://192.168.1.112/admin 

      It this is a new setup, use admin for the username and password for the password.

       

      The firmware is extremely old - is this a used NAS?

        Hi StephenB,
        Thanks for your answer. The device is never used before. It is a new setup, but the provided credentials "admin/password" do not give me acces.
        The firmware may be (extremely) old because I bought the device a long time ago but wasn't able to set it up due to personal circumstances.
        So my question is: Will a reset to factory default also reset the username/password so I can acces the device?
        Is there anything else I can do?
        Thanks in advance
