Hi Lovelyaline, 

 

Yikes! I'm sorry to hear that you have forgotten both your PIN code and your Nest Thermostat is no longer appearing on the Nest app. Do you have a laptop or desktop? If there is, what OS is it? Windows, MAC, or Chrome OS? 

 

Keep us posted. We're happy to help.

 

Best,

Zoe

Hi folks,

 

I'm chiming in to make sure everything is covered here.

 

Thanks for the help here, Zoe.

 

@jens74, thanks for posting. If your thermostat is no longer linked to your Nest app and doesn't have the PIN, the only option is to manually unlock the thermostat using your ChromeOS laptop. To do this, please follow these steps so we can move forward:

 

  1. Remove the thermostat display from its base.
  2. Insert the USB cable into the USB port on the back of it, and attach the thermostat display to a computer with the use of the USB cable.
  3. Locate and open the folder or icon for the Nest device that should appear on the computer screen.
  4. Check if the technical info.PLIST file is visible.
  5. If so, please fill out this form and let us know once you're done.
