I'm pretty sure you would need to log into your Nest/Google account and reset the Thermostat that way. There is a reset feature on the Nest itself under settings, but not sure if you can reach settings without your PIN.
It makes sense but some ppl they don’t have the app or registered the nest in their account so now we are stock and we don’t know what to do !!! Any advice? I tried to reset it but it turns off and it goes to the Lock Screen! I’m so frustrated!
I’ve had guests override the PIN lock and I can no longer control the thermostat. How have they done that? How can I stop them doing it and how can I remotely reset the thermostat? Any ideas please.
I just started working maintenance at a pretty much brand new property with a 165 apartments that are all occupied now. I got a call from a resident saying he and his roommate are at "ends" and the roommate moved out but before moving out he took the petty route and turned the A/C on and down to 50. Which in Colorado and in the middle of winter is not cool. And then set the pin to a unknown number. Long story short, is there any way to factory reset it without knowing the pin or having access to it through the app?
Wow, ok...so, you can reset the Nest Thermostat directly on the Nest itself (not through the App). I believe you can reset the Nest without having to enter a PIN. If that's not the case, let me know.
We just installed a Nest E thermostat I think it is and I locked it last night to stop the kids from changing it. I woke up this morning and my pin won’t work and the thermostat has disappeared from my app so I’m completely locked out and freezing. I hope you can help.
I have never had to do this yet, but there is a technical way (involving accessing the technicalinfo.PLIST file) to unlock the Nest. You have to connect the Nest Thermostat to a PC using USB cable. Your best bet is to engage the Google Nest Community Team and they will walk you through the steps involving your Thermostat. I believe there are some steps involving personal privacy and they are the best folks to help you here.

Appreciate it. My ass hole tenants keep blasting my AC 60% when I'm at work after I told them I will lock your ass out if you keep doing it, and yes they keep doing it and I have to pay to live in MY COLD ASS HOUSE.
Hello! What if your nest has been locked but you don't have the pin? How do you unlock it?

Thanks for the video. I wasn't aware of the other lock options that you could make directly on the thermostat. Huge help!
Glad it was helpful!

His is one of the best features to happen to a dad. No more “WHOS MESSING WITH THE THERMOSTAT! 😡” 😂 Every father should get the Nest for Christmas!

@@SmartHomeMojo you cant , my dad forgot his password for it & its locked on 72 degrees

Hey there, that’s a great information thank you. quick Question is that possible that I can reset the the four digit pin for the screen lock?
I have done this, but I have to regularly refresh it. Why does it remove the lock after a period of time?
Does this lock feature work on all models of the Google Nest?

Hello, am I able to lock the new 2020 Google Nest Thermostat? It doesn’t seem that I can. Thanks!
My child accidentally locked it, and we don’t have the app or anything. Is there a way to cancel it or unlock it?

Does anyone know how to unlock the thermostat without the app?
