I got you.
The only option in this case is a factory reset.
Do you have any data you don't want to lose in your phone?

If you are OK with that, please do the following:
1. Log in to Google Find My Device from a computer, tablet, or other device (https://www.google.com/android/find)
2. Make sure Google has located the correct phone
3. Select ERASE
Your Google Pixel will be remotely erased. When the process finishes, you can set it up like a new phone, create a new pin and restore a backup.
