Messenger PIN Code?

Hello,
For some time now, when I open Messenger on my PC, a message appears saying "enter the PIN code" and a box with 6 slots for input... I don't remember ever setting a PIN code for Messenger or FB, or if I did, I didn't write it down anywhere :-( ! Where could I find it? In fact, Messenger seems to be working, but it's true, I feel like I'm missing some messages that I receive on my mobile....
Thanks for any advice!
