I suggest trying incognito mode first in the browser. As a reminder, the username has to be admin.
You can also do an OS-reinstall from the NAS front panel. Instructions are on pages 50-51 here:
The OS reinstall will
- reset the admin password back to the default password

- disable volume quota (which can be re-enabled on the volume settings wheel).
It should not affect your data or other configuration settings.
