How do I reset my 4 digit pin from a previous iPhone that I had

How do I change the 4 digit PIN from my previous iPhone? I have upgraded and cannot remember the 4 digit PIN I had on my old phone. I never used it but now it’s asking for it on my new iPhone.

iPhone 11, iOS 13

The 4 digit screen unlock code does not migrate from one phone to another. When you activated the new phone you had to enter a code that defaults to 6 digits, but you can choose 4 if you want to. It will not be the same as the code for the previous phone unless you make it the same.


If you mean the Screen Time code that IS saved in your backup, and will be the same on the new phone as it was on the old phone. If you don’t remember it see—>If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support
