Hi guys wondering if anyone can help me out with some info...
I've a Pixel 6 with GOS installed, 2 accounts (Main and Social). I haven't been on the Social acc for quite a while and seem to have forgotten my PIN for it. (At least I'm assuming it's not an issue with the phone itself)
I'm fine unlocking the phone in the main account (12 digit PIN code I thought up until today was the same for Social acc) but need to know if there's anyway to get access to the Social acc or even just delete it off the phone TBH without the PIN for it?
Any info and advice would be appreciated, thanks folks :)
Forgotten PIN for 2nd (Social) Account.
DMShrooms I don't believe you'll be able to access it any way short of entering the correct pin, but you can delete it by navigating Settings > System > Multiple Users > (That profile) > Delete user
Have you tried: 1,2,3,4... ? I keep my PIN simple so easy to remember to unlock my phone... I also use this for my ATM Card, though have been thinking of changing it to something less obvious like 1111... I mean seriously, who would even try that PIN on a card they found? Very secure /s

Thanks Flighty. One more question I can't seem to find the answer to, on a second acc like my social one, how many attempts will you have to try an input the correct pin before any measures are taken to lock you out?
Also I think this might be the result (possibly) of me turning off finger print unlock for the phone in my main acc whilst it was still in use for the social acc, not sure at all if doing that would result in it now asking for a PIN but for the life of me I can't remember the PIN and I did used to use finger print for a while on social...

DMShrooms does your social profile contain any additional data that you would like recovered? If not, just create a new profile with exactly the same setup. All data in those apps will be restored after logging in your accounts.
