Welp, I’m 5 PIN code attempts away from losing my stack of corn.
I set up a cold card last year, and put the xpub into sparrow wallet so I could generate deposit addresses. I used the cold card a bunch testing it out and such, but now a year later I can’t remember the PIN code for the life of me.
I thought I had written down the seed phrase and PIN code, but it seems for some dumb reason I didn’t??? Or I’ve possibly misplaced it.
Now that I think about it, I think I set it up initially thinking “this is just a test, I will reset the device and set it up for real later.”
I guess it was working so smoothly I forgot to reset it and set it up again later? But that means I didn’t write the seed down or the PIN code.
I just went to do some UTXO consolidation and realized all this, I’ve forgotten the pin, and am about to brick the device trying to remember.
RIP to my 2023 stack.
