Forgot PIN

[ptkelly]

This is embarrassing. I hadn't used my Pixel 3 in a little over a week and when I powered up this morning it rejected all the PIN numbers I tried. In the past year I've used three, that I can remember, and I don't remember changing my PIN on the Pixel. It's running without a SIM right now but that shouldn't matter.

Any suggestions?

Never mind. I'm doing a factory reset now.

Edit: I got it done but I had to connect by cable to my new phone. Both are up and running now.

As embarrassing as this is for me to admit I use my Pixel daily and since I've had it (a year now) I've forgotten my phone PIN 3 times now. I simply had a brain fart and for the life of me could not remember it. I got locked out of my phone for 20 minutes, at that point I started panicking a bit. Then suddenly I remembered my PIN.
