PIN Recovery Phone Number

if u forget the pin code of ur phone than format ur phone or u go to any shop who unlock the pin while using some software

Hi,

well, you don't have to set it up if you don't want to. Also sending it via e-mail is not that simple on Android since there is no way of sending an e-amil from your GMail account there without any user action. I am sure you don't want the potential thief to just press the PIN recovery in PIN dialog and see an e-mail with the temporary PIN (s)he could use to disable Anti-Theft.

I installed avast, but forgot my pin.  I did not set up a phone number to recover my pin.  I've tried to un-install and then re-installed the app on my kindle hd but it still asks for my pin.  Is there a way to reset my pin or start over?

[Filip Havlicek]

Hi,

did you connect your installation to your avast! Account and have Anti-Theft installed?

I have not created an avast! account.  Should I create one and if so, what is the next step after that?

Hi,

nah, it won't help if you didn't connect earlier. Your only chance now is to uninstall Mobile Security AND Anti-Theft. You uninstall Mobile Security the common way, you might need to uninstall Anti-Theft (your hidden app) using a guide available somewhere here on the forum. After that, you can install everything back and it shouldn't ask for PIN anymore, but you will lose all your app settings.

I have yet to find any answer to the questions in this form of PIN Recovery Phone Number 
I setup both anti theft and security. I set the anti theft name to phone backup but am 99.999% sure I didn't set a PIN.
The anti theft is NOT showing up in my list of apps under the fake name and I cannot find any PIN that works.
My phone is not rooted. I uninstall avast! security and re-install but it still asks for a PIN.
Is there any way to change \ set \ alter the PIN or do I HAVE to root the phone to get avast sorted?
Thanks.
