To unlock your unit you must go with-in 50 meters of your SECURITY LOCATION , that is the place you first setup your GPS, it could of been your home or office.

Once there the unit will automatically unlock, reset your pin number at that time in the Security menu.

If you cant get to the Security location you must send your unit back to Garmin with the proper receipts of ownership.

Give it back to the owner. Owners don't forget PIN and even if the PIN s changed, they also know the secret location where the unit will unlock itself without the PIN.

The only way is to take it to Garmin or goto the location that you create you PIN this will unlock it.

Unfortunately, even if you perform master reset on Garmin GPS unit, it does not reset Garmin Lock security feature, which password-protect most Garmin electronic devices to deter theft. If you forget the PIN or password unlock code to unlock the Garmin unit, the best solution is to bring it to Garmin to get unlocked. “Secure Location” does not unlock a locked Garmin unit either as it’s only a temporary fix as when it’s turn on outside the security location, the device is locked again."

So unfortunately, there is only one option: You have to send your nüvi into the Garmin, who can unlock it. Remember original receipt.

If you're the rightful owner of this device, you can send it back to Garmin for unlocking.

Theres no way round the PIN. If you forget it then youve blown any chance of getting in. Only solution is for it to go back to the manufacturer.

If you forgot your PIN, all you have to do is go to the physical location where you originally set your PIN and turn the unit on (make sure antenna is up). It will not ask for a PIN and you will be then able to change the PIN to whatever you like.

Good Luck!

It can't be reset without entering the correct PIN or driving to the security location. Failing this, the unit must be sent back to Garmin.

The only options you have when it comes to a locked unit is to enter the correct PIN, go to the location where the PIN was set, or send the unit back to Garmin. There is no way to unlock a PIN locked unit without the correct PIN or location.
