2. Click **More** > **Erase** > provide a 6-digit number for the **Recovery Pin**. This is the pin that you must give to the user so that they can reinstall the operating system on their device. Be sure to make a note of this pin because it won't be visible after the erase action completes.
45+
2. Select the ellipsis on the remote device action bar to show additional actions. Select **Erase** then provide a 6-digit number for the **Recovery PIN**. The six-digit PIN is required to reinstall the operating system on the device if the device is not equipped with T2 security chip enabled (i.e. the model year of the device is 2018 and earlier, or the device is running macOS 10.14 or earlier). Be sure to make a note of this PIN and give it to the device owner as it won't be visible after the erase action completes.
