For non-expandable NAS, there might be some hidden services open but not shown in web admin. You may use nmap to explore.

As you may see from the report, there is one hidden rsync on tcp 873 is open (marked by red color).
But there are more, you need to specific ports to scan. According to Mike Makuch, there is a telnet service on port 2380 (usually 23) in Promise SmartStor NS4300N. I try to scan Promise SmartStor Zero for port from 2300 to 2399 by nmap -A -p2300-2399 192.168.0.147 (replace 192.168.0.147 by the IP of your NAS) and get following result:

See Who is Listening
If you mat login to the NAS, use netstat -tulpn to see which process is listening upon a ports. Here is a same result from Asustor AS-602T running ADM 2.1 Beta.

Your admin is Not root
When I try to use rsync to sync remote and local folder, it asks for password. The default password for admin doesn’t work.
rsync -av 192.168.0.147::SMARTNAVI/VOLUME1/PUBLIC/TEST /home/amigo/Test2
192.168.0.147 can be replaced by IP of your NAS.
SMARTNAVI/VOLUME1/PUBLIC/TEST can be replaced by source. Use rsync 192.168.0.147 to list all available module
/home/amigo/Test2 can be replaced by destination.
add -e or –rsh to disable SSH. It cannot be user to connect to rsync daemon.
Then I use telnet 192.168.0.147 2380 but fails. My privilege is not allowed to login.
Trying 192.168.0.147... Connected to 192.168.0.147. Escape character is '^]'.

Connection closed by foreign host.
Brute-fore your Password
I google for password recoery and follow a thread on Security StackExchange to give THC-Hydra a try. You need to download the source and compile yourself. It’s very well document in the README file.
I try to brute-force for telnet with a user name engmode found by Mike Makuch.
hydra -l engmode -x 7:7:a1 192.168.0.147 telnet -s 2380
-l to specific user name.
-x 7:7:a1 for mask of combination beginning with minimum and maximum for 7 characters and mix letters without capital and numbers.
-s to specific port number.
Without a good dictionary, it took a very long time for brute-force. I didn’t finish running all combination and give up.
Final Thoughts
It’s interested to learn some new things about security. A new challenge to break into my own NAS. Excited and Fun! 🙂
Read the Source
In PCDVD Forum: Promise SmartStor Zero 的功能並不是只在管理界面，要不要檢查看看您的 NAS?, hchihwei leave an interesting comment:
拿到root的方法很簡單 ， 因為他是閹割的版本 原本她有修改root的方法 因為被閹割了 所以他把他關起來了 修改密碼的地方在 網頁的介面中 用檢視原始碼就可以看到，然後用 chrome 開發人員工具 把她打開 就可以修改了
In English, he mentioned that you may use Chrome to login the web admin of Promise SmartStor Zero. Press F12 to developer tools and enable the source code to change root password.
Sometimes you just need to dirty your hands to read the source code, maybe faster than brute-force.
