just as an fyi the other NAS is fully accessible from all devices

Yes. Chrome calls it "incognito", other browsers use different terminology.
Basically I want to be certain that the browser isn't automatically supplying the wrong credentials. That can result in taking you to the password recovery page.
What exactly happens when the problem starts? Are you unable to reach the web page at all? If not, are you getting the account/password prompt?
If it isn't the PC, then it would have to be something specific to the apache webserver on the NAS (since other services work). But I'd expect rebooting the NAS would clear it in that situation.
Any chance your OS partition is full? If it is, you should have log entries saying it is. Once the OS partition is full, the NAS can't re-write configuration files, which can lead to a host of different, seemingly unrelated problems. An OS re-install does not clean up the OS partition because it doesn't know what you or an app might have put there and needs to stay,
