My Nest is locked and asking for a pin. I never set up a pin when I installed it. How do I find my pin number?

Hi @rlwasko,

 

Thank you so much for posting in this community! I completely understand that your Nest Thermostat is locked and is asking for a PIN. This situation can be a little confusing because you never set up a PIN. No worries, I'm here to help you!

To provide you with the most accurate information about this situation, I'd like to ask some questions.

  • Could you please provide the specific model of your Nest Thermostat? You can check the help article How to tell which Nest thermostat you have in case of doubt.
  • Is your thermostat showing as online in the app and can you control it from there?
  • Do you see a low battery message on the thermostat's display?

At this moment, to try to unlock the thermostat, I'd like you to try the following:

  • Nest app:
    • Open Nest app.
    • Select the thermostat they'd like to unlock.
    • Select Settings.
    • Unlock.
  • Google Home app:
    • Open the Google Home app.
    • Tap Favorites or Devices.
    • Select your thermostat.
    • Tap Settings icon Thermostat.
    • Tap Lock confirm to unlock the thermostat.
