You can wipe or factory rest without a pin. There are many articles and exact instructions at the top of search results for “reset pixel without PIN”.
As for who owns the data, that is most definitely the person who sets up that account with a PIN, not the device owner. If you forget the PIN, that’s a nasty situation, but unfortunately working as I think most would agree is best.

- dmarlow 2y agoI thought the PIN was the issue. Can't op just do a pw reset, wipe the phone and log in again?
- stuffoverflow 2y agoSince OP didn't want the Google account on the pixel to be associated with their personal google account, it is possible no recovery phone number or email was set on it which can make reseting password difficult / impossible without someone at google actually looking in to it.
