As a safeguard, you are requested to enter a password recovery question, the expected 
answer, and an email address. If, in the future, you forget the password, go to 
https://<readynas ip_address>/password_recovery
. Successfully answering the 
questions resets the admin password, which is then sent to the email address you enter on 
this screen.
Password Recovery
To recover a forgotten password:
There are two options for recovering or resetting a lost or compromised password:
1. 
In a Web browser, enter 
https://<readynas ip_address>/password_recovery
. You will 
be prompted for the email address and security question entered when you first set up 
the system. A new password will be sent to you at that email. 
2. 
Optionally, you can reinstall the firmware, which does not remove data from the system, but 
resets the admin username and password to the factory defaults admin and netgear1.
