1) If you setup an email for your account on the server, then the system will send you a backup code via email (when you select, send me an email).
2) Sometimes, a reinstall of the google authentication app will also restore the data as well.
3) https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/DSM/tutorial/General/How_to_reset_your_Synology_NAS -- reset the 'password' for the admin account.

Also...thinking ahead...
The board only has one PCI (32-bit) slot. Any one know which SATA 2 or 4 -port card is compatible (again, no mucking with drivers)? I see talk of the LSI and the IO Crest/Marvel cards that are plug-n-play, unfortunately, all of those cards are PCI-Express and not the original PCI bus.
Thanks in advance!

everything you list looks like it will work 'out of the box', just follow the standard tutorial
Thanks for the reply!
So I have decided to use 5.2 because it's been out a while (and I figure the instructions are perfected...) ... can you point me to the tutorial that is for bare metal install of 5.2? (preferably, one without 6.x references... I've read through two of them and they confusing to me). Maybe after I've installed it once or twice, it won't be so confusing....
One of the confusing part is I downloaded a xls that generates the SN and MAC. I modified syslinux.cfg to contain the generated SN and MAC.... the tutorial talks about grub.cfg? I don't understand how the generated MAC address will work since it won't match my my NIC's MAC address?
I also can't figure out which .pat to download. Will DSM_DS3615xs_5967.pat work (if I picked DS3615xs when I generated the SN)?

Can someone tell me if this hardware (laying around the house) will work without having to muck with any drivers and such.... XPEnology "out of the box", so to speak?

I'm pretty new to xpenology but it seems like it should work just like the original with two major exceptions:
1) no regular / stable updates. Once you have installed the version, you're stuck with it for a while until a stable xpenology update comes out, which seems like a long while after the official update was released.
2) certain tools don't work due to license. The only one that I am aware of are Quick Connect because it goes through Synology's servers. If there are other tools that also goes through synology's server then they would also violate some licensing terms.
As for cameras, I believe there should be no problems with adding camera licenses to xpenology.
