Hive Wallet recovery without PIN

-1

If I don't have my pin, but I have my 12 word passphrase, how do I recover the wallet without pin?

As you can find from the FAQ, the passphrase is the only part you need to access your wallet. The PIN allows easy access from a machine that you've already logged in from (using your full, secure passphrase). You can force Hive to allow you to reset it by clearing your browser cache/data (assuming you're using the web interface; other clients may or may not have an equivalent function), or entering an incorrect PIN five times.

Since you have now made your passphrase public, DO NOT CONTINUE TO USE THIS PASSPHRASE since people can easily steal any money stored there (well, you can log in with it just to see how that works, but don't transfer money to it). Generate a new one, and NEVER reveal it publicly.

Since there's no current balance in your account (I logged in to check, and possibly "steal" it for you before someone else did; I saw one transfer in and one out, 0 balance now), there's nothing to worry about at the moment, as long as you're not planning on sending money to that account again.
