Forgot Moto G Unlock Pin

motoman4rmmars · Dec 31, 2013

Hello all,
Need your help!
I recently put pin on my phone and 'forgot unlock pin.
1. I was hoping it would allow me to reset using gmail account but it doesnt show that.
2. Tried going into recovery mode and wipe/factory reset> That just restarts the phone.(My old phone allowed me to reset in recovery mode when I entered pin wrong 5 times).
dont know what to do mad:
If you experiened this issue with this phone, I appreciate if you can help me out.

Thanks

would unlocking the bootloader ( which wipes the device) do it ?

Did you try contacting Motorola?

I read that the stock recovery is messed up. If you want to factory reset then chose the option above, ie the text you see in the menu does not align with the actual option that will be chosen.

thanks for reply guys,
I dont want to unlock the bootloader as it voids the warranty.
I contacted Motorola, but no reply.

Is there any other way to factory reset this device?

BTW Happy New Year to all

Did you read my post just above yours? You use the stock recovery, just highlight the option ABOVE the option you actually want within the recovery.

Do you need Android Device Manager on the phone itself to work?
