PIN recovery?

Matth

I just got a new Pixel 6 and installed GOS on it. So far so good. I started to setup the phone with the apps I want and get familiar with it. I did setup fingerprints, and with that had to enter a PIN code. I thought I did remember it, but when I now try to enter it, it keeps telling me, it's the wrong PIN.
I can still use the phone using the fingerprint to unlock it, but I guess I will need the PIN sooner or later. Is a factory reset my only option? Not that it matters that much, as I have no data to lose. Just wonder if there's a way to avoid it.

Matth Yes. There isn't a way to recover the PIN since it's not stored anywhere.

lberrymage Thanks, that's what I guessed. And soon after, it was asking for the PIN so I was forced to factory reset it. This time I made sure I entered it correctly.
