You do an OS-reinstall from the boot menu.  That's described on pages 14-15 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/RN2120/ReadyNAS_OS6_Rackmount_HWM_EN.pdf

The reinstall will reset the network configuration to use DHCP.  If you have quotas enabled on the NAS, it will also disable them.  The password is reset to password.  Data should not be lost.

Be careful not to do a factory default - that is destructive.
