Xiaomi Mi Band 8 - Have I Bricked It?

Hi all. My son has locked his Mi Band 8 with a pin and can't remember it. It is (was) paired to my phone but in my efforts to unlock it I have unpaired it from my phone. Now it is pin locked and not paired - have I bricked it? Much Googling has not given me an answer on how to factory reset from this state; any help would be appreciated.

  • How many pins does your son use? Get him to write them down. Then think. Then write down the ones he initially forgot

      He's 8 so doesn't have too many pin numbers in his life yet. I've tried the basics but with a 6 digit pin there are 1000000 different options.

  • 123456

    • Now there are 999999 options.
