I'm trying to setup a small two disk NAS to my wireless router for a home network. I'm currently running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on my desktop and Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on my laptop. I am the administrator for both machines. I plug the NAS in and I can see it on my network, but when I try to access it and set it up, I get this popup:
I haven't setup any windows network username or password. Was it given when I installed windows on the machine? Where/how would I find it? |

username admin, password admin Quoted:
Quoted:
It's an Orico 3529NAS. I was under the impression that this was something with windows since it gives me the same message when it turn off my homegroup and try to access the other computer. username admin, password admin That's the default username and password for the NAS control panel. When I type in the IP address of the NAS, I enter that and I can go to the control panel and change settings. However, still get this windows security popup when I try and access the NAS through my network. |

That looks like the same screen that Windows pops-up when you try to access another computer in your network. That one is easily set by going to the PC you want to access and asking Windows to generate that info for you so other PCs in the network can access that one. It's usually an individually generated info.
I have three NAS devices in my home network and none ever prompted that when I first accessed them from any of my PCs or even the Android tablet. I can enable it but it usually comes disabled from the factory. Check your NAS' manual for the setup process and how to access the NAS via your web browser. Once you get in your NAS setup look for the equivalent info there. Maybe this one has the security enabled. |
Well, I found a workaround. I was able to type in the IP address which brought up the username/password box for the NAS. After typing in the default username/password, the system settings page came up and I was able to mess around with the settings so it doesn't ask for the windows network security info. I'm not sure what I did to fix it since I reformatted the NAS disks and changed several settings.  But, it works now. Thanks for all that chimed in.

Your default domain is your laptop. You need to use the NAS device name\username as your login. ie. STORAGE-030-B46\admin "admin" needs to be whatever the default is for your device. Quoted:

notice on your screenshot that it shows the domain as your laptop. When connecting to the nas enter the IP of the nas then the log in credentials. Example: 192.169.1.200\admin password*8 Thanks. If/when I get it again, I'll try that. |
