I know there is certain key strokes to recover a locked stick. Is there a list of these tips.

The trouble is not the remote.
The stick is locked in a Pin mode.
Without the Pin number which I do not know, I can not get to the Restore to Factory option.
I did try the dual keys function to no avail.

How about this:
FACTORY RESET ON AMAZON FIRE STICK METHOD 2:

Press the Back and Right buttons simultaneously and hold them until the Reset screen appears.

Bottom answer is correct. There is more than one tip, though.
I am familiar with this procedure, and was successful on my son’s stick.
However, on my daughters I have not. The fur flew in this house when they
pulled this pin stunt to keep each other from using the sticks in different bedrooms.
I refused to purchase new devices for each of them. I think I am forced to replace hers.
Thank you for trying to help me.
