As I mentioned in the PM, you can try to log into the NAS web ui - if you can, then you have the correct password.
The web ui includes an email recovery option, but that has never worked for me. A method that does work is to do an OS reinstall from the boot menu (NOT a factory default). That will reset the password back to password - letting you log in, and change it to something else.
The OS reinstall will also
- reset the network to use DHCP with no bonding
- disable volume quota (set on the volume settings wheel).

You are going to have to give a lot more information if you want assistance.
What model number and OS is the NAS running?
You installed a VPN where: the NAS. your PC, your router?
And what VPN did you install?
If you installed the VPN on your PC, see if that VPN has a setting called "Allow local (LAN) access when using VPN" and enable it or "Use default gateway on remote network" and disable that.
