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).

Is the PC telling you the password is incorrect? Or are you getting a different error? (Posting it in English would be helpful).
You might want to try changing the admin password to remove the @ symbol(s), and see if that makes a difference. I don't think it's a special character in the windows CLI, but it's also not a character I've used in my own NAS admin password.
the vpn app messed everything, the OS reinstal put everything in order.
do I have to move from x-raid to flex?
anyway everything work, admin password, user password both are ok, connection are going in the right way, I did the right re-boot
Thank you to Stephen I have solved everything. OS REINSTAL was the thing to do.
