Configuring Your ReadyNAS
v1.0, October 2007
this password is kept in a safe place. Anyone who obtains this password can effectively change or 
erase the data on the ReadyNAS.
As a safeguard, you are requested to enter a password recovery question, the expected answer, and 
an e-mail address. If, in the future, you forget the password, you can go to 
https://<ReadyNAS ip_address>/password_recovery. Successfully answering the questions there 
resets the Admin Password, and that new password is sent to the e-mail address you enter on this 
screen.
Security Mode 
The ReadyNAS device offers three security options for your network environment. Select the most 
appropriate option based on the required level of security and your current network authentication 
scheme.

Note: In User or Domain security mode, you can use the admin account to log in to a 
Windows share, and perform maintenance on any file or folder in that share. The 
admin user also has permission to access all user private home shares to perform 
backups.
