didn't set up a PIN - how do I get in after restart

[Android Central Question]

Hi,
I just got a Pixel 2 at the Verizon store, and later shut off the phone. Now that it's on again, it reads that "PIN required after device restarts." However, I don't believe we ever set up a PIN (maybe we were supposed to, but the customer service rep wandered off to help another customer while the new Google phone was finishing up transferring info from my old iPhone.) My iPhone password doesn't work, nor does 1111. Any ideas?

Does your Pixel 2 have a lockscreen active? Or do you have fingerprint lock? If so then yes a PIN has been set.

Then you have a pin set. Yoy have to remember that

Think back - when you had it read your fingerprint, you had to set a PIN.
