- A reset link will be sent to the email address immediately you once provided before.
- Now, open your email and click the reset link.
- Tap CONFIRM. Open WhatsApp > tap Forgot PIN? > Reset.
Note: Keep in mind, you cannot reset or disable the PIN for two-step verification by the way of you deleting or reinstalling WhatsApp.
