Issue with ReadyNas NV+ after changing a drive

Running in a NAS RND4000 FW 4.1.14 - in a winserver 8 r2 network.

 

Replaced both drives - one at a time and it seems to have synced well.  But there are a couple of issues:

 

After changing the password - successfully - it won't let me log in.  I'm using RADAR 6.x

 

I figure I can take out one of the two drives - and do a factory reset - then resync but is there an easier way?  I'm locked out and the default Admin / netgear1 isn't working either.

 

Help.

That will NOT work.  When you reinsert the original drive it gets wiped.

 

If you are using XRAID, you could use linux reader to get the files from the data disk (usually in bay 1).  You'd install it on a PC, and connect the disk with SATA or a USB adapter kit.  The link is here: http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/

 

Is the login failing at https://nasip/admin ?  Did you try both the new and the old passwords?

Also, have you lost SMB access?
