So, last week, my sister was playing my 3DS and opened "the game with a Luma on it" (presumably Luma3DS) and accidentally applied a PIN to my 3DS, of which she does not remember what it is. If anyone has a way I could find out the code, brute force it, or if anyone has a tool for either of these, please tell me! I really don't wanna lose my 3DS. Also yes, my 3DS's hinge is broken. That's why there's tape.

EDIT: Fixed! I just had to delete pin.bin on my SD card, specifically root of sd card/luma/pin.bin . Thank you if you were gonna help, though!!

How did she even got access to this? And are you getting this for a specific game when you try to launch it, or when you first boot 3ds to go to home menu it shows you this?

Hey! Was gonna edit this post. I let her play it because she plays it much more often than me, and I guess she just got curious. But I fixed it! All I had to do was delete pin.bin on my SD card and it's fixed. Thank you, though! Specifically, she set a pin for booting the console.

Ok, were you using this to prevent her from accessing/playing certain games? If so, It's not doing that much of good job anyway..

Oh i forgot, I lost the SD card, is there anything I can do to reset the 3DS...
The SD card always has the higher priority; this means simply using another FAT32 formatted SD should allow booting the 3DS.

Assuming you have B9S installed this should do:

A pin on NAND can be deleted with GodMode9. The file is [1:] SYSNAND CTRNAND/rw/luma/pin.bin

  • Veho @ Veho:
    What's the point of "confirming" games you know will get released. Like Nintendo "confirming" a Zelda sequel. "We can't be sure Nintendo is working on a new Zelda game, or if a new Zelda game will ever be released, until they officially confirm it."

    "There is literally no way to know if they will ever release a new Zelda game, it's wild speculation until they officially confirm it."
