[shawnennis41]

I recently changed my PIN to phone and now can not remember it. I can't use phone at all. Does anyone know how I can reset the stupid thing.

Thanks B33 for the help. I appreciate you taking the time to help out.

@Shawnennis41,

Where you able to reset the phone with the suggestions provided by B33?

If you are unable to unlock the phone with the hard reset you may want to take into a VZW store to see if the phone can be flashed.
