ReadyNAS NV+ v2 - connection refused

I have a ReadyNAS NV+ v2 (firmware 5.3.12) that I used a while back to offload family photos and other data. It seems that I did some sort of firmware upgrade and then I could see the system via Radar, but couldn't connect to the admin page or explore the drives (Connection Refused error). (Maybe I uninstalled an app as I've seen tickets here refer to...) Radar reports that it's a healthy system, and the front lcd reports the right storage levels.

In reading through the forums - I saw different options presented. So I tried the boot menu and reinstalling the OS. No dice. Then I saw where I could put a new disk in and try doing the boot menu - factory default. I did this and the NAS comes up perfectly - I can connect, and browse the shares with that new disk. Upon shutting down and reinstalling the original disks however the old issue comes back. Any ideas? Thanks, Justin

The services configuration file was corrupt which would explain why services weren't starting.

Is it possible you have set the admin account back to default, so credentials "admin" and "password"?

Which OS are you using?

  Hi Tony, thanks for the response. Admin account has been reset which is fine (on the new single disk). I don't even get to a logon screen as the logon page request has the connection request refused before even loading.

    Just to clarify- the OS is on the hard disks. So whatever you did with the new single disk doesn't apply when you switch back to the old ones.
    
    If you did the OS reinstall on the old disks, the admin password should have been reset to password there too.
    
    If you didn't do the OS reinstall - is the IP address reported on the LCD screen compatible with your current network? (this is with your original disks running).
