One thing you could try is deleting the known_hosts file in the pc.

This is in c:\users\user-name\.ssh (which is a hidden folder). You'll get the prompt on whether you want to trust the NAS again after you do this.

Check that "password authentication" is checked in the SSH settings in system->settings->services.

Was this the first time you used ssh to connect to the NAS on this PC? There will be a prompt asking asking if you trust the NAS, and showing you some fingerprint information. Importing the certificate allows you to avoid that prompt in the future.

When you enabled SSH, did yoiu check the "Enable password authentication" box?
