Google Pixel 10 Pro: Fix PIN Not Accepted or Forgotten

Understanding PIN Issues on Pixel 10 Pro

• 💡 Ensure you are entering the device PIN and not the SIM card PIN, as these are often confused.

Recovering Access via Google Support

• 📞 If you cannot remember your PIN, contact Google customer support.
• 📄 Be prepared to provide proof of ownership, such as a store receipt, to regain access without data loss.

Factory Reset Options

• 💻 Remote Factory Reset: Use another device to access the 'find hub' website, sign into your Google account, and select the factory reset option for your Pixel 10 Pro.
• ⚙️ Local Factory Reset: Perform a factory reset via the phone's recovery mode. A separate video on the channel provides detailed instructions.
• ⚠️ Note that a factory reset will erase all data from your device.

Troubleshooting with Safe Mode

• ⚠️ If your PIN is correct but not accepted, try entering Safe Mode to bypass issues caused by third-party apps.
• 🚀 To enter Safe Mode: Press and hold the power button and volume up key, then hold the power off option and confirm.
• 🔒 Once in Safe Mode, navigate to Settings > Security and Privacy > Device Unlock > Screen Lock, enter your PIN, and select 'None' to remove the screen lock.
• ✅ Restart your device to exit Safe Mode and regain access.
