I am no longer able to access my G-mee device or the App lock settings as I have forgotten the relevant pin code
Users can set pin codes for securing their G-mee device and also for using the App Lock Security feature. It can be a separate pin for each function. Our goal is to keep G-mee devices secure to ensure safer device use.
Unfortunately, this also means that if you forget your pin code for either of these functions the opportunity for gaining access once again is limited. You are best to contact with the specific access issue you are experiencing and our customer support team can guide you on the best course of action. Please be aware though that this is the case with many other Android devices, if you set a pin to restrict access and then forget it, as a last resort you may need to return the device to us for a factory default reset.
