I recently forgot the PIN to my Google Pixel phone and ended up having to perform a factory reset to regain access. Now, when trying to restore my data from the Google One backup, it's asking me for my old PIN, which I can't remember. Is there any way to recover my data in this situation?

Yeah, it's really tough without the PIN. It seems like a simple fix could have been implemented to help users in cases like this. I hope Google considers adding an option for backup and recoveries that doesn't rely solely on the old PIN!
Unfortunately, without the PIN, there's not much you can do to access your backup. It's a frustrating situation, and I get that—it's a big oversight on Google's part not to have a workaround for this kind of issue. Just a heads up for the future: make sure to keep your PIN written down or saved somewhere safe!
