rn204 factory reset
For a number of reasons I decided to do a factory reset on my NAS RN204.
it is currently resyncing data. the problem is I cannot now access the system. RAIDar is connecting to the NAS and displaying admin login page. but the password is obviously no longer valid and when I cancel it goes to the password recovery screen and reports there is no recovery set up for this system.
I dont know where to go to from here. is there a way to get back to the very beginning of setup so I can start again from scratch?
any help appreciated.
Rod.

The default admin password for the RN104 is password.

Re: rn204 factory reset
Thank you for response. I had actually found some information in some old netgear documents. it looks like I am in business now.
A supplementary question... the nsa name has been defaulted to a default network address - 10.20.30 for example. is it possible to change this to a name : rodnas for instance?
must have done this 7 years ago when first installed the system, but memory not that good and cannot find anything in the old documents.
many thanks for contact

I suggest downloading these manuals:
- https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/READYNAS_OS_6_SM_EN.pdf
- https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf
The information you want is on page 188 of the software manual.
Go to system->overview in the web ui. (This should be the page you see when you log into the web ui).
There is a gear next to the NAS hostname. Click on it.
