Reset device PIN

If a user forgets the device PIN for a Windows Phone 8.1 managed by MobileIron, or if you locked the device, you can reset the device PIN from the Admin Portal.

To reset the device PIN:

  1. In the Admin Portal, go to Device & Users > Devices.
  2. Select the Windows Phone device.
  3. Click on Actions > Windows Phone Only > Reset PIN.
  4. In the Reset PIN pop-up, click Reset PIN.

    A new PIN is displayed.

    The device user can unlock the device using the new PIN.

Note the following about the Reset action:

  • The new PIN is generated by the device and communicated to MobileIron Core.
  • Since the new PIN may contain complex characters, we recommend that the user reset the PIN.
