Title: PIN problems, anybody else?
Post by: SunQueen on March 09, 2013, 03:22 am
Yesterday I went to make a couple purchases and I changed my PIN as advised in the "Buyers Guide" prior to purchasing. I put the items in the shopping basket, encrypted my info, put in my new PIN and a message appeared stating "incorrect PIN", I tried again, tried my old PIN, tried changing my PIN again and then was locked out after 5 tries for 72 hrs, which is fine, I appreciate the security. But my QUESTION is: after the 72 hrs, and I then follow the link to reset my PIN, if it asks for my old PIN what am I to do? Obviously it won't recognize my new PIN or old PIN and I will be in the same situation as before, unable to access my funds. Has anyone else experienced this problem and would you please enlighten me?  Thanks so much, SunQueen

if you've forgotten it i think you need to enter it wrongly 3 times, then SR moderators reset it after 3 days. hope this helps!
