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   but the password is obviously no longer valid and when I cancel it goes to the password recovery screen and reports there is no recovery set up for this system.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 

Rod

I suggest downloading these manuals:

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.
