Can't access admin page of ReadyNAS Pro 6 after factory reset

I'm planning to sell my ReadyNAS Pro 6, and so today reset it to factory default via the boot menu. The reset finished without an issue. Should I be able to access the admin page after the reset? I ask because I'm not able to via https://192.168.168.168/admin. The following message appears:

This site can’t be reached

192.168.168.168 took too long to respond.

 
 
FWIW, I did a port scan, and the IP address is unchanged from before the reset (192.168.0.11).

OK, so I was able to access the admin page via the original IP address (after numerous security alerts in Chrome), so all is well now.

 

I only wanted to take a picture of the "Volumes" page to show the sizes of the installed disks. 

 

Thanks for reading.

If you are selling the NAS without the drives, there was no need to do what you did.  If you are selling it with the drives, keep in mind that a factory default does not do a secure erase of the drives.
