network disabled

help!!!   I have inadvertently disabled my network interface on my NAS system. it is no longer on my home network and cannot access it.

 

I noticed from another similar incident reported that part of a solution was :

{

Failing that you need to perform a Boot Menu OS Re-install (NOT FACTORY DEFAULT) following which your password will revert back to the default of "password"

}

I have no idea of how to do this....  at the moment I have no way of accessing the NAS system.  can anyone give me a simple guide how to do it?

 

my computer skills are very old and I am rather old so it needs to be very simple.

 

thanks
