    My wife is away and accidently put the wrong pin number in the nuvi 260. Now the unit tells her invalid pin and locked up. Is there a way to reset it so she can put the correct pin in it without bringing it home first? She knows the correct pin but the unit apparently won't permit a second try.

The security location / pin # is so that someone cannot access the unit if it is stolen. When you first set up a pin # it tells you that the location you are at is your security location. Are you sure you want to do this now? and also informs you that if you forget your pin # you can return to the security location to unlock the unit. At that point you could easily reset the pin # or disable the security feature entirely. If the unit you have is stolen you are SOL you might as well send it back to garmin and if the origonal owner registered the unit like they were supposed to it will get back to them. Otherwise you did not pay enough attention to the instructions that were given to you at the time and you need to send it to garmin for unlocking. Good luck on that and I hope that they dont charge you for that service.

The only way to unlock a PIN locked Garmin is to enter the correct PIN number or take the unit to the location at which the PIN was set. Your only other option is to send the unit back to Garmin.

Try to look for the reset button. You can then put the pin in again without doing the secure location.

Those are the only two ways to unlock the GPS without contacting Garmin. If you call them and provide the serial number they may be able to unlock it.

Surely, you can remember where you were when you set the pin code, just return there and it will unlock itself.
Garmin use this to deter thieves from unlocking stolen units.

Your only other option is to return the unit to Garmin. Be aware, however, if you are not the owner of record, they will not return the GPS unit to you.

My pin doesnt work and I dont know how to reset my garmin nuvi 205

If your pin does not work, you need to go to your security location (location of when you set the pin the very first time) to unlock it. If you don't remember that you need to call garmin at 1-800-800-1020 to set up an rma to send the unit in to have it unlocked.

My garmin nuvie 205w has a pass code but i dont know it how can i reset the pass code?

for your gps to unlock you must return to with-in 50 meters of the SECURITY LOCATION .....the security location is where you first set up your gps..(could be your home or office )

once there your gps will automatically unlock for you.....make sure you change the security pin number at that point since you will have access there.

other than that you would need to send your gps back to Garmin to have them unlock it.... a receipt needs to be sent as proof of ownership......

All Garmins are register once maps are opened.....so they should have your serial number in file with name

I dont remeber my security location

If you have a Garmin Lock on your nuvi, zumo or StreetPilot c500 series and you have forgotten your 4 digit PIN number you can unlock the device by returning to your Security Location. The Security Location is the location that you set when you first enabled the Garmin Lock on your device. Returning to the Security Location will unlock your device.

If you have forgotten your PIN and Security Location please contact Product Support for assistance. Please note we will require a copy of the receipt and there will be a charge to unlock the device as this issue is not covered by the warranty.

I forgot my pin number and my device is locked

You would have to go with-in 50 meters of the Security Location you set up your unit....that could be your home or office.... you had to call Garmin to Register the unit,when you did it set that location as a security spot.

Once there it will automatically unlock for you, dont forget to enter new pin number before you leave that area.... if you dont know where it was at, you must send the unit back to Garmin with proper receipts.

FYI

Dont set your security location as your home, thiefs will know and change it so they could now have a working gps

Need pin number for a garmin 250w

Sorry, no easy answer here. But if your "friend" has the code you're all set. If not, do you know the location within 150 feet of where the code was entered in the GPS? Yes? Go there and it will unlock automatically.
No? Then your kinda screwed. Try this:
Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} If you have a Garmin Lock on your nuvi, zumo or StreetPilot c500 series and you have forgotten your 4 digit PIN number you can unlock the device by returning to your Security Location.
