Neither iTunes nor Android are Microsoft products, so better post to a more related forum.

Hi,
Is it possible in InTune/MDM to reset the pin on an Android device and specify the pin number remotely?
Thanks

Intune is our (Microsoft's) MDM platform for managing a wide variety of endpoints including those running Google Android. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/fundamentals/what-is-intune

For the supported type of Android enrolled devices, we can see it in the following link:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/remote-actions/device-passcode-reset#supported-platforms-for-device-level-passcode-resetIn fact, the reset passcode option on Android will remove the existing passcode and creates a temporary passcode made up of letters and numbers. Currently, it can't specify a PIN for the device. After researching in Andorid MDM, I find there's no such option in Android MDM either. Given the situation, we suggest to feedback to Android to request the feature:
