There is a “Forgot Your Passcode?” feature that allows customers to reset their passcode.

Once you have successfully validated these questions, you will then go through security verification in which you will either have to answer a security question or enter a one-time pin, based on your security settings you have set up. After successfully validating your security, you will be allowed to create a new password.
