I can see the USB drive in file explorer on the PC, but am unable to access it. It asks for the network credentials, but when I enter the admin password for the NAS it doesn't recognise it. See attached image.

FWIW, with the NV+ it is faster to back up over the network than it is to back up to a directly connected USB. If you are making backups manually (or have an always-on PC), then you should consider connecting the drive to a PC, and using a PC backup utility like FreeFileSync to back up the NAS shares to the USB drive.
