It won't delete your files. However, if these are the only copies of your files, then the NAS is being used for primary storage, and is not a backup. If that's your situation, you should look into solutions for backing up the NAS (for instance, using USB drives).
It will
- reset the admin password to password
- reset the network connection to use DHCP
- disable volume quota (which can be re-enabled on the volume settings wheel).
