One thing, when I said that booting up the unit without drives works fine you said that this is a clue of a issue, would this be a bad one or a good one?

Not really sure, as I haven't played much with recovery mode.
If you want, you can download the full log zip, and send it to me. Do that by uploading it to cloud storage (dropbox, google drive, etc), and then send me a PM (private message) with the link.

Hi, thanks for all your help but I will be scraping this unit. I have two other ReadyNAS’s at home, a 214, and a NV+ from 2008. I unfortunately can’t afford a new NAS at the moment, so I will be scraping this unit in what’s left in it :door panel cover, fan, PSU, and side panels. Will be selling them on eBay along with my fully working ReadyNAS 214 as I’m not sure if that one will mysteriously go “bad” suddenly, so I’d rather get rid of it before issues come along with that one too. I will be keeping my Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ as it works fine and is bulletproof aside from a few issues along the years that I have fixed, in 2020 the PSU started making weird noises along with a small spark, thankfully the unit was fine and I took another PSU and modified it to fit inside the unit. My Netgear ReadyNAS 214 drives went bad once too a few years ago, but this is my first ReadyNAS that has had a login problem. If you’d like, I can send the logs but if everything looks alright I will be scraping the unit because I need to buy a new NAS. What NAS do you recommend? QNAP and Synology look like good brands.
I forget to mention, the drives in this unit is from a NAS that was being thrown out last year and I replaced the drives in this unit because they weren’t working correctly. Not sure what that changes, but would just like to put that out there.
I know this is a long shot, but is it possible that the replacement power supply that I bought last year is failing? What would be the best way to check this? Would a volt meter connected to the correct pins work? Would this cause my CMD Timeout?
Do you have a user name and password saved in the browser? I've not seen that cause this specific behavior, but it's worth checking. I ask because without drives, your NAS will identify itself differently to your browser, so any stored password would not be used.
