    Asset's web interface is accessible to anyone connected to your local network. The PIN feature exists to prevent unauthorized configuration changes, in case you do not trust some of the devices connected to your local network. Someone certainly did change the configuration - and set their own PIN.
    This could be - for an example - your neighbour's idea of telling you that your wifi is insecure.

    An uninstall/reinstall cycle of Asset will erase the PIN - along with any other changes to the configuration that did not come from you.
    If you really really do not want to reinstall - and have basic Linux skills, log into your NAS with SSH, locate Asset install location, find PIN.txt in a subfolder inside and delete it.

    Addendum
    In SSH:
    find / -type d | fgrep uMediaLibrary
    .. will locate your Asset data folder on any QNAP, if you're not sure where to look. Then:
    cd <folder path shown by the above>
    rm PIN.txt
