I forgot my PIN to open AppBlock

If you’ve forgotten the PIN code that opens the AppBlock app (NOT STRICT MODE PIN), you can reset it with a one-time unlock code from our support team. Here’s how.

Step 1: Get the unlock code

1. Open AppBlock and go to Profile → Help → Contact support.
2. Select the Other category.
3. Type “Unblock me” and you should get an automatic message with instructions to deactivate Strict Mode.
4. Ignore those instructions and only use the code in the message. Check your Spam folder if you cannot find the email.

Step 2: Enter the unlock code

1. Open AppBlock so you see the PIN entry screen.
2. Tap the AppBlock logo 5 times quickly, just above the PIN entry bar.
3. A pop-up window will appear.
4. Enter the unlock code you received from support.

This will reset your AppBlock launch PIN.

Good to know

The unlock code is one-time use only — it’s part of what keeps Strict Mode meaningful. If you forget your PIN again later, the process is the same.
