It is imperitive that you need to change 2 files in order to prevent transmission to overwrite your changes.
The default credential is admin:admin
1. SSH into your synology
2. edit /var/packages/transmission/target/var/settings.json to change the username and password
3. edit /var/packages/transmission/var/settings.json to change the username and password
To understand how the username and password get inserted into the settings.json, you can read /var/packages/transmission/scripts/service-setup
