How to Fix PIN Not Accepted on NOTHING Phone (3)

Troubleshooting PIN Issues on NOTHING Phone (3)

• 💡 First, differentiate between your personal PIN and your SIM card PIN, as they are often confused.
• 📌 If you're entering your personal PIN, try the last PIN that worked for you.

Using Safe Mode to Resolve PIN Problems

• 🚀 To check if a third-party app is causing the issue, enter Safe Mode. Press and hold the power button and volume up key together, then hold down the 'Power off' option until a message appears. Click OK to restart in Safe Mode.
• ✅ Once in Safe Mode, try entering your PIN again. If it works, go to Settings > Security & Privacy > Device Unlock > Screen Lock, confirm your PIN, and select 'None' to remove the screen lock.
• 🔄 After removing the screen lock, restart your phone normally by pressing the power button and volume up key and selecting 'Restart'.

When to Contact Support or Factory Reset

• 📞 If Safe Mode doesn't resolve the PIN issue, contact NOTHING customer support. Be prepared to provide proof of ownership.
• ⚠️ If contacting support is not an option, a factory reset is the next step. This will erase all data but will allow you to regain access to your phone.

Performing a Factory Reset

• 💻 Using Google's Find My Device: Open a web browser on another device, search for 'Find My Device by Google', log in to your Google account, select your NOTHING Phone (3), and choose 'Factory Reset'.
• 🛠️ Using Recovery Mode: If you need instructions for a factory reset via recovery mode, refer to the dedicated video on the channel for a step-by-step guide.
