Hello ToddeSwe,
I understand you forgot the admin credentials.
You can check the section "Recover the Administrator Password" of the Software Manual for two different ways to recover/reset the admin password.
As an alternative, you can also perform an OS Reinstall. This process reinstalls the firmware on the NAS and resets the administrator user name and password to factory default. It also resets Internet protocol settings. For the steps of OS Reinstall, you can check Chapter 2 of the Hardware Manual, "NETGEAR ReadyNAS 102", at the "Boot Menu" section.
Even though the suggested processes should not delete any data from the NAS, we strongly recommend having an updated, external data backup for reasons of data safety, before performing any action.
Kind Regards,
