How to Wipe a Trezor Safe 7 Step-by-Step (Forgot PIN)

Hello, fellow Trezor and Self-Custody users!

After I showed you how to reset Trezor Safe 3 and Trezor Safe 5, let's continue with the latest flagship model, Trezor Safe 7.

The Trezor Safe 7 has upgraded features for even greater convenience, especially the built-in Power button, which makes the process of powering on and entering Bootloader Mode slightly different from previous models. If you happen to forget your PIN or want to erase data on the device to create a new wallet, you can easily follow the Factory Reset steps via Bootloader Mode as described in this guide.

Most Important Warning Before Performing a Factory Reset!

🚨 WARNING: Performing a Factory Reset on Trezor Safe 7 will permanently delete all data on the device, including Seed Phrase, PIN, and Firmware.

If there are still assets remaining in this wallet, please ensure that you have correctly backed up your Seed Phrase (Recovery Seed). Because without a backup Seed Phrase, your crypto assets will not be recoverable.
