Bitcoin Client Software and Version Number: bitcoin wallet on android, ver 5.31, source code https://github.com/bitcoin-wallet/bitcoin-wallet (sorry idk if that's helpful)
Operating System: wallet is on my Samsung galaxy s7 edge
System Hardware Specs: n/a
Description of Problem: i lost my spending pin somehow and ran btc recover for 4-7 character pins (all numerical btw) to no avail. I'm guessing my pin is 8 digits or higher (I'm betting on 8 ) and I am having no luck finding help from even the wallet recovery services people who charge 20% of your total wallet. if anyone can help me I will reimburse you, I realize this is time consuming. thank you.

generally,  the spending PIN takes more difficult way to encrypt. so it is very harder to get decrypted. according to my personal experience on 2 cases. there is still possible to recover the 10-12 digits, even longer one with special skills and experience plays more important role.
i would advise the users to set the spending pin to protect the btc in case your kids set it to a random PIN by accident.
