How to change 'Project to this pc' pin?

Hello Jitendra,

My name is Nada, I'm here to help.

I understand the issue you have, there is nothing to worry I am here to help, have you tried to update your Android to the latest version? if not yet, please do update your phone, while waiting for your response, we will remove the required PIN when sharing, kindly follow the steps below:

Go to Settings > System > Projecting to this PC

Under "Require PIN for pairing" set it to "Never"

Under "This PC can be discovered for projection only when it’s plugged into a

power source" toggle the switch to On/Off.

Once done, restart the PC and phone then try to cast it again.

Let me know if that works or if you need further help.

Regards,
