Forgot PIN Next Step | Device State, Recovery Record, and Reset Readiness: practical reference notes for this topic (scope-specific to id=201096).
When a Ledger PIN is forgotten, the next step depends on device state and recovery record readiness. Do not treat app pages, memory, and restore records as one issue. First decide what can be checked on the device, then confirm whether the recovery phrase record is complete. (id=201096 scope-specific note for "Forgot PIN Next Step | Device ")
Identify the current device state
Start with what the device shows: whether it is locked, whether attempts remain, and whether it can still be opened. If the broader forgotten-PIN path is needed, compare with the forgotten PIN guide. (id=201096 scope-specific note for "Forgot PIN Next Step | Device ")
Check recovery record readiness
Before planning a reset, confirm the recovery phrase record is complete, numbered, and readable. The difference between PIN and phrase roles is explained in the PIN and recovery phrase boundary guide. (id=201096 scope-specific note for "Forgot PIN Next Step | Device ")
Decide whether reset is actually ready

Write the next-step note without sensitive details
The final note can say device state checked, recovery record status known, and reset readiness decided. It should not contain the PIN or recovery phrase words. (id=201096 scope-specific note for "Forgot PIN Next Step | Device ")
