can't figure out a way to reset my pin, anyone??
I forgot my old one.. ;/

Your PIN is your second password.
You should hopefully know what this is as it's a fairly new feature they've recently implemented.
Why they decided to call it a PIN I have no idea, especially when they initially call it your '2nd password' when setting it up.
-
If you type it in wrong enough times it will say it has reset your pin, but what to, I have no idea.
I know what my secondary password is/was, but then it got reset and now I don't know what it is. /fail
-
Sadly this happened to me as well. Just decided to make a new acc. and make sure to keep everything safe and on hand if need :P
-
I messaged support about it and about 6 hours later they fixed it for me. :D
-
just PM SR.............
-
They fixed it for you? All they did to me was send me a generic response, and tell me it would be reset and I'd get further instructions. Never got further instructions. It's just been reset, to what I have no idea. And I'm fucked because I owe someone money and can't withdraw it.

You can try to change that reset pin by going to your settings where is "change pin" option (I dont know what to put in "old" pin area
or paste this link and make a new pin - http://silkroadvb5piz3r.onion/index.php/account/make_pin

Yeah I tried that link you had pasted in an earlier post last night, it tells me I already have a pin set. :(*
-
It could have been the timing. After contacting support it was fixed within 6 hours. I didn't get an official response either.
Maybe it was just ironic timing. Either way, wait a couple of days. When surfing SR randomly a page will pop up asking you to type in your secondary password.

You cannot reset your pin. Silk Road wont do it for you......it defeats the purpose of a pin if he was to reset it for you. I suggest opening a new account and then remembering your pin.
