What is the model of the Synology NAS?  What options -- CPU, memory, 
disks, bays, interfaces, PSU, whatever?  Support page URL?


Reading the forum post, it sounds like you damaged the sudoers file. 
The fix would appear to be doing a Mode 2 reset per Synology's instructions:

Once the NAS has been reset, figure out how to meet your needs within 
the framework provided by Synology.  Follow the User Guide.  Follow the 
Admin Guide.  Do not mess around "under the hood" with a terminal and 
sudo.  Make Synology earn your money.


But if you want complete control, buy or build an x86_64/amd64 server, 
install Debian, and have at it.
