If you're on OS X, type this command into the Terminal and hit Enter. You'll want to log in as root and type in the password you created for yourself when you set up the NAS.

As long as you follow the instructions to the letter, though, you shouldn't find it too hard. This is a rather advanced process, so you'll need to be comfortable entering terminal commands to do this.
