What wallet are you using?
If you forgot the pin on it, I must say that if you have the recovery phrase/seed of the wallet since most wallets have this feature instead of exporting private keys then you can recover it using the same wallet or other wallet that support the length of the seed I mean the the numbers since there are 12, 15 or 17 words and also if you have the private keys of this wallet. But if you don't have this recovery phrase or private keys then there's no way to recover it except if they have some support that will help you to solve your problem or some email function that has the same feature of forgetting password to recover your pin as the password.

Assuming you are talking about Electrum on your phone. If you have the 12 word seed backup for your wallet, you can just delete the app data and then restart Electrum and it will let you setup the wallet again.

To delete the App Data: This can be slightly different on different versions of Android, but there should be an option somewhere like (Android Settings -> Applications -> Electrum -> Storage). You can then click the "Clear Cache" and "Clear Data" buttons...

Once you've cleared the App Data, it should allow you to recreate your wallet by restoring from the seed and you can setup a new PIN :)
