I understood a factory reset might the only way to recover from that situation.

The user-guide says the following:

If you exceed the number of tries for the Unlock code, as a security measure, your data becomes inaccessible. You will need to contact Care to have your device reset.

Here is a duplicate question: https://together.jolla.com/question/20199/how-do-i-reset-factory-settings-if-lock-code-is-forgotten/

He's talking about the pin code.

@Sthocs Are you shute? It is not clear from the original question whether it means the SIM card PIN or the device Unlock Code.

One might legitimately refer to the latter as a PIN.

Anyway, both versions are answered here.
