enable administrator password recovery on your ReadyNAS storage system before you 
can use it. For more information, see

•     
Perform an OS reinstall reboot. This process reinstalls the firmware on your system 
and resets the administrator user name and password to factory defaults. 
Recover Your Administrator Password Using the NETGEAR Password Recovery
