You should be using root as the username, and the NAS admin password.

Copying to windows avoids using vi altogether.
You'd copy the file using the linux cp command to a share on the data volume. Then edit in notepad++, and use cp to copy the changed file back. Similarly you'd use cp to make a copy of the original file.
Navigation uses the cd command (cd /etc/samba in this case).
We can't really teach folks how to use linux here. You might want to do your own googling, and find some on-line tutorials on the basic commands for navigating folders, copying files, etc. There are similar commands in powershell (though the windows cmd interface is closer), though the options are different (and you will need to adjust to using / instead of \).

Got the file copied to a temp share on the NAS. I don't have permission to copy it to Windows, however.
I've enabled read/write and guest access but NAS security has that copied conf locked down.
I can reboot the NAS amd re-copy the conf since setting those permissions.
