Title: Logging In
Post by: jackxblack on February 08, 2013, 12:58 am
I already posted this in Tech support, but I figured I might as well post it here as well (and work on getting my posts up at the same time).

I registered with the site last week and had no issue surfing around. Unfortunately I mistyped my password somewhere along the line and now that the new login page is up I'm unable to reset my password (even though I know my PIN). Any thoughts or suggestions?

I've finally got some coin in my wallet and was hopping to jump right in...

Found this in another thread ;
This is what it says

Q. How do I log into the main SR site if I forgot my password?

A. Make a new account, and PM Silk Road Explaining what happened (Forgot password/phished) and share info only the real account owner would know, such as last deposit address used, last three orders, BTC balance, etc.

Oh it's nice that there's actually a way to recover your account if your password gets changed or if you ever lose it. Didn't know that.

Thanks for the advice zeromancer, I appreciate it. Unfortunately SR has not been accepting any new registrations for at least the last week....

Are you sure? I just created a vendor account today.

I'm confident you could register a new account.

If not - my apologies.

The account registration is working just fine.

I do have issues from time to time with the captcha because 'l' looks like '1' and stuff. Commonly takes me 2-3 logon attempts to actually get in.

Hi all, thanks a lot for your replies! Unfortunately when I click the link that says "Click here to join" i get this message under the log-in box on the next screen: "New registrations are temporarily disabled. Please try again later." I've just checked it again, and for some reason am having the same issue... Ideas?

I went through the same experience using an outdated link. (http://silkroadxmx45vk4.onion/silkroad/home)

Hey NickNack, thanks for your reply. I feel like an idiot, but you were right, I was still using the old address which was causing the issue. Thanks for your help!
