Recover the Administrator Password Using the Physical
Reset Button
This process does not remove data from the system, but resets the administrator
password to the factory default. The default password to log in to the Admin Page is
password.
Both user name and password are case-sensitive.
To recover your administrator password using NETGEAR’s password recovery tool
and the physical Reset button:
1. Launch a web browser and visit https://< ReadyNAS_IP_address>/password_recovery.
The Password Recovery page displays.
<ReadyNAS_IP_address> is the IP address of the storage system.
2. Follow the directions on the page.
For information about how to perform an OS reinstall on the storage system, see the
hardware manual for your system, which is available at
www.netgear.com/support/product/ReadyNAS_OS_6.
Shut Down or Restart the System
Use the Power icon at the top right corner of the Admin Page to gracefully shut down
or restart the ReadyNAS.
