No wifi and unable to unlock

rmrmrmrm — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 07:16:04 GMT

Nest not connected to internet and I am unable to unlock it with any of the pins I’ve used. Is there a way to reset it so I can unlock it?

To resolve this you'll need to reset it using a computer.

Connect the Nest Thermostat display via USB to a computer.
Verify that the Nest Thermostat mounts (appears as an attached drive icon).

If the Nest drive will not mount: Restart the thermostat and the computer.
If the Nest drive still won't mount: Connect another device to the cable to see if it appears as an installed device.
If it doesn't appear, use a different cable/port/computer.

If the Nest drive is successfully showing up on your computer, can you see a technicalinfo.PLIST file? If you get this far let me know and I'll ask a community specialist to assist with next steps, as these can't be shared publicly in the community.

I have tried two different laptops but have not had any luck. I will see about finding a different cable I guess.
