ReadyNas NV+ Default Username/Password

Hi,

 

I found an older ReadyNas NV+ unit at my new job, Part number is RNV2-S2-0000. I found instructions online how to reset it to factory default, which I have (seemingly) successfully done. I can connect to it with RAIDar, and I was able to do initial setup through it for X-Raid, and the front shows 637GB available of 637GB.

 

However, I am unable to sign in to the unit at http://xxx.xxx.xx.x/admin so I can update it, configure shares, etcetera.

 

I have tried the combibation of admin/admin, admin/password, admin/netgear1, admin/[blank] with no success. Anyone know what the correct username/password for this model is when reset to factory?  I would love to get some use out of this thing!

 

Thanks!

    The normal default is admin/netgear1.  If the unit is very old (as I suspect yours is), it could be admin/infrant1

     

    The current firmware would be 4.1.16; you might need to install that manually (update server URLs have sometimes changed over the years).
