How to reset a lost pin on a Mac

Step by step instructions to reset a lost LumaBooth pin when running a Mac computer.

1. Quit LumaBooth completely (Cmd+Q — make sure it's not still in the Dock).
2. Open Terminal (Applications → Utilities → Terminal).
3. Run these two commands:

defaults delete co.lumasoft.lumabooth PinCode
defaults delete co.lumasoft.lumabooth LockEnabled

4. Relaunch LumaBooth — the lock PIN will be gone and everything else will be as you left it.

If either command reports the key doesn't exist, run these instead (note: this resets ALL app settings):

rm ~/Library/Containers/co.lumasoft.lumabooth/Data/Library/Preferences/co.lumasoft.lumabooth.plist
killall cfprefsd

Then relaunch LumaBooth and set things up again.
