Are you also unable to log into the NAS web ui?
I am using my own Gmail password on the NAS, the one I normally use to log into the Gmail browser interface.
And yes, the whole password recovery journey started because I too am unable to log into the admin interface with the browser. And I haven't "lost" my password -- I keep such passwords written in a password store, since they are not guessable. So it's very unlikely I'm typing in some wrong password.

Ok. Though that just means you reused the gmail password with the NAS admin account.
But you said also that you were no longer getting email alerts in your gmail. That's configured in a different part of the NAS web ui. And you need to change that password over to an app-specific google password to get email alerts.
Back to the main problem - the OS reinstall will definitely reset the admin password back to password.
Make sure you are browsing to https://nas-ip-address/admin, and also try incognito browsing to be certain the browser isn't auto-filling the wrong password.
