FORGOT SCREENLOCK PIN

Hello... I'm using SONY XPERIA Z1
What can I do if I forgot my screenlock PIN?
Do I need to reset the phone?

IF reset is needed, how can I reset my Z1 at home?

Hi, are you prompted with option to enter your Gmail account username and password after numerous attempts?

You need to reset phone with PC Companion or Update Service. This process will erase everything from your phone.

When I use the PC Companion, the phone cant connect to it. PC COmpanion has asked me to unlock the PIN but I had already forgotten it.

What should I do next?

Don't forget your pin again or don't even set one. Slightly_smiling_Face
