Locked out of my own Samsung A01 after forgetting the PIN

Changed my screen PIN last week and now I genuinely can't remember it. Phone is linked to my Google account. Is a factory reset the only option or can Samsung's find my phone thing unlock it?

Samsung's own Find My Mobile does have an Unlock button, but only if the phone has a Samsung account signed in and remote unlock was switched on before this happened. Worth logging in to check, it's a one click fix if so. Google's Find My Device can't unlock, it can only erase. Otherwise it's a reset from recovery: power off, hold volume up and power together until the Android recovery menu appears, choose wipe data / factory reset with the volume keys. After the wipe it will ask for the Google account that was on the phone, that's the anti theft check, so make sure you can still log in to that account on another device before you start.
