1
Enter your four-digit personal
identification number that you used to lock your Garmin GPS. When your
Garmin GPS is locked, you need to enter the four-digit PIN every time
you turn the device on.
2
Drive to the security location
that you set when you locked your Garmin GPS. Turn your Garmin GPS on
and pull the GPS antenna up so that your GPS is able to acquire the
satellite. Once your GPS recognizes that you are at your security
location, it will unlock itself.
3
Contact Garmin if you forgot
your PIN and security location. You will need to send your GPS to
Garmin to have it unlocked. You will also need to send a valid product
registration or proof of purchase for Garmin to unlock your GPS. Call
Garmin at (800) 800-1020 and get the shipping address and specific
instructions from an authorized Garmin representative.
you havent got a chance in hell, the only way to unlock it is to go back to your secret location , where you set the pin in the first place. Either mail it to a friend or drive there, no other choice
The only way you can do that is to go back to the Security Location it will automatically unlock, then change pin.... or you have to send it in to Garmin with the proper receipts of ownership
You have to take your unit back to your Safe Location where you set your PIN number (usually your home). Otherwise, you'll have to send it to Garmin with the receipt to have it reset.
