Frontview login issue

[mloyd]

Greetings,

I have a Pro 4 Plus NAS running 4.2.24.

Background:

I had 4 2TB drives installed, I shutdown the NAS, removed the drives, all numbered with data intact. I installed 4 new 3TB drives (WD30EFRX, selected from the Hardware Compatibility List) started RAIDar version 4.3.8, built the array (now showing 0% of 8326 GB used).

Problem:

I can't login to the NAS with Fronview. Neither the factory default password works, nor my previous custom password. So, I can't do any real configuration on the NAS. There is no data on the new disks, so I'm not worried about data loss. Should I shuffle the disks around and break the existing array and try again?

Any ideas?

Thanks

The factory default password is netgear1 - is that what you tried? Your old password applies to your old 4 x 2 TB set up (the OS is on the drives).

No, I tried "password" (same default on my new R7000 router). It's been several years since I did this last time. I'll try your recommendation, StephenB.

Thanks.

It worked, NAS has been accessed, shares configured and files are being copied as I type.

Thanks, StephenB.
