The question I asked was what is the (likely Linux) username and password
Well, that really isn't the right question, though the answer to that is in the link @schumaku gave you.
The NAS OS only has the remote console installed. You can use WinSCP or Putty (windows), or terminal (mac) to gain access to the remote console.
To do what you want, you'd first need to install a package that creates a desktop environment on the NAS (since it doesn't have one). That package would need to function without any graphics hardware (that is, without a GPU), since the NAS doesn't have that either. I don't know of any such package, and if there is one the performance would be very slow.
Then you'd need to install a VNCServer package that allows that desktop enviroment to be accessed remotely.
There is no effective or virtual GUI to access without a GPU - so again, nothing to access by VNC, Remote Desktop, TeamViewer, or whatever. These embedded devices have a serial console only, no graphics console.
Same limitations on Windows systems for headless systems - no GUI components can be installed and used, or on the Windows Server 2016 Nano Server.
The root password for ssh shell access is the same as the admin password - the access must be enabled and a support limitation must be accepted

Happy to report that I have vncserver running on my NAS rn212 and have connected to the NAS via a vncview session.
The windows (desktop) performance is more than adequate - the key is not whether or not a GPU exists but the performance of the CPU which is more than capable of rendering a screens worth of pixels.
Thanks for the pointers as to where to get the root and admin password - I'd recommend to everyone that they change their own user defaults by the way. Looks like a scary security risk to me.

Good advice for any equipment, you should always change the default password.
