Title: Didn't set PIN at registration
Post by: dissapointedinmyself on April 27, 2012, 03:37 pm
So I've learned pretty everything there is to know about the SR process, and have learned to be very discreet.

However, I made a really dumb mistake, and didn't enter anything into the PIN field at registration thinking it would
be for a referral code or something of that nature.

Trying to reset my PIN, if I enter nothing into "old PIN" and something into the "new PIN" fields, it still asks for an old PIN,
even though I'm positive I didn't set one.  The solution apparently is to enter a wrong PIN 5 times and then wait a week
for a reset email. 

To avoid waiting a week, given I've found a product that'll be disappearing soon I like, I'm thinking of creating a new account.
Is there a better way?

I'll donate 3 BTC to an admin that can help me reduce this 7 day waiting period. (sorry for double post)

I'm in a similar position but I don't want to end up locking myself out. 2 tries left...I was so glad to finally be able to order and now i feel broken...

my thoughts exactly.. it took me so long to finally buy bitcoins... as the last confirmation loaded from the bitcoin wallet to SR, i hopped on ready to ship, entered the pin i saved, and suddenly, loljkwrongpin.
needless to say, i cried myself to sleep. all i gotta do is wait 7 days.........

i've waited the seven days and followed the instructions and still it seems like nothing is happening.....

i'd like to think i'm a fairly patient person and i also realize the mods here are likely overworked and also have plenty of other things to be doing than constantly worrying about members forgetting their secondary passwords....

calling it a PIN and then having it be NOT numbers is kind of confusing to me....

oh well, i definitely appreciate the community and everyone who is supporting it....

I'm in the exact same situation, its very frustrating... have also 2 tries left... now i can wait 7 days longer... :(

Didnt know at the registration what a pin is and my first thought was, to let the field empty... damn mistake ! -.-

It seems that thers no way to revocer your pin because if i let the "old pin"-field empty, it wants to have an old pin...

:o
You had my hopes up, I checked the wiki.


"You may wondering what this PIN is, or you may have just forgot yours. First thing's first, your PIN is the secondary password you were asked to set, either at the creation of your account or afterwards. If you do not know your PIN, take some guesses, after 5 attempts it will lock you out and you will recieve a message about Reseting your PIN. Reply to that messages 7 days AFTER recieving it to get a new PIN.   This is for your own security to make sure there are no other request for your account. "

Wait I shall 8)

Well, this is kind of not really understandable..

Yesterday I did 5 attempts in the hope to get a new PIN suddenly, not after 7 days -.-
