My hardware wallet PIN locked after I entered it wrong too many times. I still have my seed phrase. What do I do

I’m kind of stressing right now and hoping someone here has gone through this before. I was setting up my Ledger on a new laptop earlier today and somehow completely blanked on the PIN I usually use. I tried a couple combinations that I thought were right but after too many failed attempts the device locked itself and now it says it has to be reset before I can use it again.

The part that’s making me nervous is that I still have my recovery seed phrase written down on paper and stored safely. I checked it and I’m pretty sure it’s correct, but the idea of doing a factory reset on the wallet still feels risky for some reason. I keep thinking “what if I reset it and then something goes wrong during recovery” or “what if I copied one word wrong years ago and never noticed.”

From what I understand, the crypto itself is not actually stored on the Ledger device and the seed phrase is what really matters, but I’ve never had to fully recover a wallet before so this is new territory for me. I also saw mixed comments online where some people say the process is simple while others talk about recovery failures caused by mistakes in the phrase order or spelling.

I haven’t reset the device yet because I wanted to ask people who have actually done this before. Is the reset process completely normal in situations like this? Did your balances and accounts come back normally after restoring from the seed phrase? Also is there anything important I should double check before starting the recovery process?

Would appreciate advice from anyone who has dealt with this firsthand because right now I’m honestly nervous about touching anything further.
