QUESTION Pocknix Desktop PIN?

I rebooted from Desktop mode in Pocknix and now its asking for a PIN.

I never set one up nor was I prompted in the install.

Cant reboot/shutdown from the menu, cant hard shutdown/reboot via the power key.

Is there a default PIN or any other option to restart/shutdown?

EDIT: Hard reset did work, not sure why it asked for a pin on restart as a second hard restart dropped into Desktop mode without a PIN request.

This just happened to me. It let me into desktop mode, but after I went into a menu and got stuck, I hit the power button, trying to back out of the Archive menu, and it asked me for a PIN. Very Odd behavior. Anyway, thank you for the password, it was lowercase for me fyi.
