Need Help: Entered Wrong PIN 2 Times on My Ledger Nano S – Advice Needed!

Hi everyone,

I’m in a bit of a situation with my Ledger Nano S and was hoping the community could offer some advice. Here's what happened:

  • I’ve entered the wrong PIN two times, and I know that if I get it wrong a third time, the device will reset to factory settings.
  • I still know my correct PIN, but I’m nervous about messing up on my last attempt.
  • Unfortunately, I don’t have my 24-word recovery phrase anymore (I know, big mistake 😞).

My questions are:

  1. Is there any way to extend the number of attempts or avoid the factory reset if I accidentally get it wrong again?
  2. Has anyone had experience accessing the memory of the device to recover funds in a similar situation? (I read online that it might be possible, but I’m not sure how legitimate or safe that is.)
  3. Are there any recommended professionals or services that might be able to help recover access to the device?

I understand the importance of security and fully accept the risks involved, but I’d really appreciate any guidance or tips on how to proceed safely.

Thanks in advance for your help!
