For security reasons, a lost or forgotten Personal Identification Code (PIC) cannot be recovered. There are two ways to reset the PIC for your MapleStory account: though the MapleStory website or the Nexon Launcher.
Please make sure that you are signed in to the correct account before resetting the PIC. If you run into an issue resetting the PIC, you may be logging in to the wrong account. This can also happen to Steam users, especially when the email address on the Nexon account is different from the email address on the Steam account.
To reset your PIC through the website:

- In the Second Password/PIC section, click Reset next to MapleStory - NA or MapleStory -EU.
- A notification will appear to indicate an email was sent to your address.
- Follow the instructions in the email to reset your PIC.
- If the MapleStory client is open, close the client completely and relaunch it.
- Once the PIC has been reset, you will be prompted to create a new PIC on at the Character Selection screen on your next login.
