Title: pin troubles
Post by: theonetrueblob on January 28, 2013, 04:52 pm
hello, sr.
i have lurked for a while, but first post.
i managed to delete the file in which i had encrypted my log in info on silkroad in an embarrassing fashion, i followed the guide in the PINS PINS PINS The Rundown thread.

after three days and some hours the page refreshed and i was taken to a 'reset pin' screen where i was prompted for my password. i provided it and clicked submit, but i was just brought back to the page which i was browsing. i now see a message in my inbox telling me to log out and back in to reset pin, but when i log out and back in nothing special happens.

not only did i manage to delete and forget my pin in a horribly stupid way, but it seems i have also messed up the pin reset process somehow. any advice?

so that screen i thought was prompting me for my password... it was actually prompting me for a new pin code!
so my pincode was now the same as my password! all is well that ends well.

thanks for help peeps and SR Support .

I forgot my PIN after registration. I had to type it 3times wrong, then wait some days and then i was able to set a new PIN.
