Go to LinkedIn’s website and select ‘Forgot Password’ next to the option ‘Sign In.’ Locate beside the option ‘Sign In.’ You will receive an email from LinkedIn. Enter the PIN given to you to reset your password. If the link provided via email does not work, copy it then paste it into your browser’s address bar.
