This is the OS partition ("system volume root"). It's not about how much data you have stored on the NAS. The full OS partition might be linked to the difficulty in getting the hotfix installed.
There are three ways to fix this:
- Engage paid Netgear support to do it for you remotely. This will require purchase of a support contract.
- Backup all your data, do a factory default, and set the NAS up again.
- Fix it yourself with ssh.
Since you really don't have much data on the NAS, option 2 is what I'd suggest. If you have no experience with the linux command line, I don't recommend option 3.

The default password for the admin account is password. Is that what you were using?
Yes at first but today I have changed the password because avast complained about the security of my system. I’ve also cleared the browser cache.
Now when I came in to the computer the admin settings page was loaded and steady.
Restarting the computer and see if it works.
Nope it keeps loading over and over again.

No it's the problem is still there after disabled AVAST.
What firmware are you running on the NAS? There was a login loop in 6.10.5 that was recently addressed in a hotfix pushed by Netgear.
If you aren't sure what you are running, RAIDar should be able to tell you. https://kb.netgear.com/20684/ReadyNAS-Downloads#raidar
