Alexandra Plesa writes about Internet TV for Finder. When she’s not re-watching The West Wing for the 11th time, she likes to scour streaming services for any fascinating underrated gems they have on offer. She’ll never say no to a romantic comedy and she’ll press you to watch BoJack Horseman until you finally give in
I have been trying to watch shows with my Firestick. It keeps popping on there that I put a pin number and I do not know that pin number. I’ve been trying to locate it every time I try to do what you guys say on here it don’t work my fire stick don’t work. I have bought four of them from you, Amazon and they don’t work. I’m really upset right now that I cannot even watch my TV without testing Poppin on there for a pin.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.

Hi Belinda,
If you’re having trouble with your PIN on your Fire Stick, there’s a way to reset it. You can find how to do it on this page: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=T0C8C83ChMx3i0D5jV#:~:text=To%20reset%20a%20forgotten%20PIN,enter%20your%20Amazon%20account%20password. That might help as you will then know what the PIN is after you set it.
If you have any further issues with Fire Stick, you can head to Amazon’s help section with Fire TV: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/help/customer/display.html?ref_=help_search_1-4&nodeId=GHH5TUHA7677G4HJ&qid=1692665027435&sr=1-4
Hope this helps.
