OS reinstall will set the password back to its default which is "netgear1" (for OS 4 models) or "password" (for OS 5 and OS 6 models) without the quotation marks. Also, the NAS will be set back as being a DHCP client and this will not delete any data/Add-Ons saved in the NAS.

If an add-on overwrites files included in the firmware then an OS Re-install may break that add-on. However in that case a firmware update would also break the add-on.
Installing the add-on over the top of itself should fix the problem if an OS Re-install breaks the add-on.
