Activate new sim with old # (forgot my 4 digit prepaid PIN)

I am currently in Canada and lost my prepaid sim card during my vacation. Luckily, my brother was on a trip in the US and brought back me a new sim card. However, I need to activate my new sim to my old number but I can't access my account since I forgot my 4 digit prepaid pin. I was told on the phone by customer service to go to an AT&T store, BUT I can't do that since I won't return to the US until the summer. Is there another solution?

You can’t activate the SIM card with your old number online, you need to call. If they won’t do it because you forgot your pin, going to a store is the only other option.

Ok thanks. If going to the store is the only option then I'll just have to cancel my prepaid service.
