The NAS runs debian linux, and mysql does run on Windows too.

There are two things you can try to see the config file.

• Access the NAS using ssh (linux shell commands)
• Map the Data volume to a drive letter and look in .apps

The latter method assumes that mysql was correctly installed on the NAS (meaning that it was installed to the /apps folder).

What you do is run CMD and enter

net use * /delete

net use t: \\nas-ip-address\data /user:admin nas-admin-password

The first command will close any open SMB sessions - if it asks for confirmation, then let it proceed.  The second will mount the NAS data volume as drive letter t.  If your volume isn't named data, then use your actual volume name.  This won't work if you are still using password as the NAS admin password.  Be careful on the typing - both the spaces and the slash directions.

Once you've done this, open Windows File Explorer and go to T:\.apps  This is a hidden folder, so you won't see it when you browse T.  You should see a subfolder for every installed app, plus another subfolder named DO_NOT_DELETE.

Linux uses different text file conventions from windows, so you need to use an editor that can preserve Linux formatting.  Notepad++ is a free editor that you can use.  You go into the "edit" menu, and select Unix (LF) under EOL Conversion.
