That is the correct command, though if there's a chance that other SMB sessions are open you might also need net use * /delete first.
The NAS knows nothing about homegroups, so adjusting that won't help. The workgroup often matters (generally it is good to set the workgroup on the NAS to match the PCs).
You might also try changing the NAS admin password, and see if that helps. Rebootng the PC might be a good idea too.
BTW, you shouldn't use "data" as a share name or an account name - that can interfere. The NAS doesn't check account names or share names against the volume names, and it really should.
