Wrong username / password on Ready Nas Duo v2

Since I am a grown up, I am not supposed to barge in to this forum and just yell that this product is crap. I really can't say that before I have managed to actually login to it, can I?



Have to admit that that really pissed me off.

Have set up what feels like a hundred NAS-disks at work, and this is my second one at home.

So, I install the disk inside, and hook up the net. Use the raidar and finds the NAS-disk at first try.

According to the manual the username / password should be admin / netgear1.

According to my loginattempts on both Firefox and IE, that is not correct.

Is this an common error?

How do I rectify it? Do I really have to start my ReadyNas career by resetting the tincan before I have been able to log into it?

The password on DUO v2 is password, it is not netgear1.

I think you may have downloaded the wrong manual. The V2 password default is found here: http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/wha ... ry_default
(and http://www.readynas.com/download/docume ... Nov711.pdf)

embarrassed right now. there, it passed.

lessons learned today:

1. Download the correct manual.
2. Google the correct username/password.
3. Be humble.
4. Be polite.

Thanks for the help!

The V1 and V2 are very easy to get mixed up.

Evan,
Thank you! Glad I checked this thread before I raised a similar confusion. Do you mean that the default password in the 'Hardware' manual is incorrect?
The 'Hardware' manual (pdf) does show the 'admin/netgear1' login pair on page 33. Thankfully the 'Software' manual for v5.3 (page 11) does show the
'admin/password' login pair. I would like to confirm, please.

I am starting the build and install of a new RND2000-200NAS (diskless). I plan to reuse my now 4yr old Seagate ST3500630AS (my nas spare!) via the
Factory Reset Boot option. This HD most likely has a very old v4.1.x RAIDiator f/w system; which I read is incompatible with the new X-Raid2 format. Fine.
The plan is for this Duo-V2 to be my local Backup target for my current, very happy 4yr old Duo-V1! 😄

Yes the hardware manual is incorrect. I'll let chirpa know.

The factory default will wipe the disk but it'll need to be wiped anyway due to the difference in RAID format. Using the factory default boot option is definitely the way to go.

mdgn,
Thank you for the confirm. Made the redline; and, am ready to begin my HD install and initial power on. It is a cheesy, drizzily afternoon here; perfect for a new toy install !! 😄
Suppose I will update my forum sig later this evening............... :wink:

Betreff: Wrong username / password on Ready Nas Duo v2

Hello together

 

A long long time ago.......

I use/used a ReadyNas Duo V2.

 

In the last two years I didn't use it, and it was disconnected in the shelf.

Now I want to get some data from it, but I can't get it running.

 

It won'T accept my password.

Ok, I thought maybe I rember a wrong password and I did a reset on the unit to get it back to factory password.

 

-pressing and holding the reset button

-clicking the power button

-releasing the reset button after 5 sec

 

but still, It won't accept the user "admin" with "password"

 

 

any ideas?

 

I know its a old product, but it was absolutley sufficient for my needs.

 

best regards

Roland

Let's start by confirming the model.

 

The Duo v2

  • runs 5.3.x firmware
  • says "Duo v2" on the front panel

The original Duo (called v1 here)

  • runs 4.1.x firmware
  • says "Duo" on the front panel
  • has other labels that might have a v2 on them (and which should be ignored).

 

You are using the reset procedure for the Duo v1.  The procedure for the v2 is on page 17 here:

If you actually have a v1, then you are using the wrong default password (which is netgear1 for that model).

 

Either way, you will run into an SSL protocol error when you try to access the NAS admin ui.  That's because your NAS has no support for TLS 1.2 - and browsers started requiring that earlier this year.  The easiest way to get access is to use firefox, as it has a setting to allow TLS 1.1.  You need to set security.tls.version.min to 1 (browse to about:config and search for the setting).

 

Other methods require confirmation of the NAS model, as the options for the v1 are different than the v2.
