How do i find my phone pin number

If you already have a 4-digit Google Account PIN, you enter it the first time you open and sign in to the Google Admin app. If you don’t already have a PIN, you’re prompted to create one at that time.

You can manage your Google Account PIN in the Admin app by doing any of the following actions:

  • Create or change your PIN.
  • Choose whether or not to require PIN entry to use the app.
  • Recover your PIN if you forget it.

About your Google Account PIN

Using a PIN helps secure your managed Google account and ensures that any changes are only made by authorized administrators from your organization.

The PIN works on any device. If other people use your device while you’re signed in, they can’t use the Google Admin app or access any of your administrative data unless they know the PIN.

The PIN applies to other Google services, such as approving Google Play purchases.

The PIN is not:

  • The password you use to sign in to your managed Google account.
  • The PIN or password you use to unlock your mobile device. To make it easy to remember, you might want to use the same PIN for your device and your Google Account.

How can we improve it?

If you’ve forgotten or lost your screen lock password, PIN, or pattern, you have up to 5 attempts to try and unlock your phone. If this fails, you'll be given more attempts.First, make sure you enter the password, PIN, or pattern properly. If you're still unsuccessful after several attempts, the only way to unlock your phone is to do a factory reset.

How do I perform a factory reset using hardware buttons?

Before you do a factory reset, please be aware of the following:

  • A factory reset will erase all data, media, and files from the phone storage. You'll lose them and won't be able to restore them if you didn't sync or back them up before. Make sure you've backed up all important information and files before you proceed.
  • Make sure the phone is charged to at least 35% before performing the reset, or is connected to an HTC charger and is actively charging.
  • Make sure you know your Google Account name and password. You'll need them to unlock your phone after the factory reset.

    For phones with Android 5 Lollipop or higher, Device Protection may be enabled, which means that after the factory reset, you'll need to sign in using the same Google Account that was logged into your phone. If you forgot your Google Account password, use your computer web browser and go to www.google.com/accounts/recovery to reset your password first.

To perform a factory reset:

  1. Turn the power off.
  2. Press and hold the VOLUME UP button. Then connect your phone to a power outlet with the USB cable and power adapter.
  3. Continue holding the VOLUME UP button while the phone powers on. Release the button when the Android Recovery screen appears.
  4. Use the VOLUME buttons to scroll to the Wipe data/factory reset option, and then press the POWER button.
  5. If prompted to confirm, use the VOLUME DOWN button to scroll to Yes and then press the POWER button.

Note: Make sure you do not select the other options on the screen. Doing so may void your warranty or brick your phone.
