Title: I Lost my Nano pin code Post by: rooseraperi on November 09, 2018, 01:26:59 AM Can't locate my Nano S pin code. I have the recovery words though. After 3 failed attempts at entering my pin - the Nano tries to reset. When I do, it provides a new pin code - after that it wants to provide a new set of recovery words. If I do this will I lose the coins stored on the device? I am hesitant to do this until I know for sure.

Your coins are stored on the blockchain, not on your device. Only your keys are stored on the device. Very common misunderstanding.After 3 failed attempts at entering my pin - the Nano tries to reset. When I do, it provides a new pin code - after that it wants to provide a new set of recovery words. You probably chose the option to set up a new wallet instead of recovering a wallet.Title: Re: I Lost my Nano pin code Post by: SUDARMONO on November 09, 2018, 02:39:10 AM if you lose the code it is very bad and I think you can send the ticket to the party concerned, and if you still don't get the code then you can be sure to lose the coins you have.

I'm pretty sure Ledger SAS(Ledger's company) won't be able to help OP remember his/her device PIN. Maybe try double checking your facts before trying to "help" people here on bitcointalk.

You can either reset your Ledger Nano, recover your account from the seed phrase and set a new PIN, or import your private keys to any other wallet that supports 24 word phrase recovery.
