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 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

Hi StephenB,
I performed the OS reinstall. After the procedure I was able to reset the default password to my own, login and start using the ReadyNas.
Thanks!
KleintjePilsYou should update the firmware, first to 6.2.5.
Then as a one-off follow this procedure to update to 6.5.2: ReadyNAS OS 6: RN100/RN2120 cannot update due to invalid checksum
and then update normally to the latet firmware.
