Hi HPhotoCotton,
Welcome to the Community!
If you are referring to the login and password of the NAS, you can do an OS re-install. This will reset the some of settings of the NAS, such as the Internet protocol settings and admin password of the NAS, to default settings.
You may check this link for the procedure on how to do the OS re-install.
The default admin credential of your NAS is:
username: admin
password: password
