I forgot my phone pin how to unlock it

All is good, if you have Samsung Find enabled on your device, you can go to the Samsung Find website on a separate device (https://smartthingsfind.samsung.com/login), sign into the account used on your locked device, then select the 'Unlock' button from the left-pane menu.

Similarly, if you had Google FindMy enabled, you can go to the FindHub website (https://www.google.com/android/find/), sign in with the Google account used on the device then unlock.

Good luck 👍

There's no unlock within google find btw. Samsung removed the unlock feature from it's find system years ago. You cannot remote unlock a phone.

Would be handy if it was, feel free to have a look and correct me if I'm totally wrong

There isn't a way to get past it. Kinda only option is to reset the device by using the recovery menu. Make sure you know your google login details, after a forced reset you will be required to login to the same account that was originally on the device

Oh whoops.

Yeah as prior to what @arianwen27 said, it seems all you can do is factory reset.

Here is a YouTube link explaining how to ( https://m.youtube.com/shorts/j30suSpbRbY)
