*****, if you forgot your PIN for unlocking your screen, you need to erase your phone, set it up again, and set a new screen lock.
But all the information on this phone will be deleted, to recover it you would need to sign in with your Google Account

You would need to erase it first through the factory reset and then you will be able to sign in back
Do you only have this account *****@gmail.com?
