Factory Reset - no password is working

Hi. I just set my NAS to factory default setting. I waited a few minutes, then I could connect via webbrowser. Unfortunately, it is not taking the default user password ( admin / password ) :

I followed this way :

(LED 2 and then press sys reset again).

What could be the problem here? :-( Thx in advanced.

    The default admin password on the 2100 is netgear1.
