RND 2000

I bought second hand NAS drive.

I would like to use it but there is HD with some files on.

I would like to wipe drive, reformat and use it for my files.

But system asking for login and password.

 

What is right procedure ? Any software for it ?

 

Thanks in advance.

Re: RND 2000

You want to do a factory reset using the rear reset pin (accessible with a paper clip).  Make sure you REALLY have a V2, as there is some confusion as to the difference, since Netgear used "V2" in two separate ways.  The V1 and V2 are slightly doifferent with regard to accomplishing this.  A real V2 says V2 on the front, has a part number ending in -200NAS (or some other country-specific letters), and uses software version 5.x.

 

For a real V2, the instructions are here: How-do-I-access-the-boot-menu-on-my-ReadyNAS-Ultra-2-Ultra-2-Plus-or-Pro-2-Duo-v2.  Fora V1, just Google it.
