Problem setting up admin password after factory reset

1Hi. I am facing the problem to set up admin password after factory reset of my NAS. 
I have therefore no access to the desktop page. I have tried different passwords (like Asdfgh1 ) but it's always the same problem "failed to set admin account password". What should I do to slolve this?

Thanks.

    After a reset, the admin password should be set to password.
