Can’t reset my password

I’ve been sent the email to reset my password and I’m trying to do this but no matter what I put in after about 7 characters it comes up invalid and will not let me progress any further. I have seen other posts where they have been PM’d directly to get this sorted so could someone please help me as it’s not good and I can see it’s an ongoing issue for lots of users.

  • Hi dacollie, 

    Thanks for taking the time to contact us via the Community. It's lovely having you on board with us in the Forums.

    We're sorry to hear you're having an issue with resetting your password. This is something we can certainly check for you but in order to do that I will need to confirm some information with you to pass security. 

    I have sent you a direct message to allow us to do this with you in a private space. If you are using a PC/Laptop then you can just click on the little ✉ at the top right-hand side of the page to access your inbox. If you are on a mobile/tablet device then instead click on the little circle icon in the top right then select 'Messages'. 😊

    Thanks, 

  • I am have exactly the same problem! Can anyone advise how to resolve this?

      I'm having the same problem too. I manged to get on line yesterday with help from VM cusotmer service but can't get to my secondary virgin media email box. I did set the VM mailbox to forward them to my blueyonder account. I am still worried that now I have been hacked I feel like I need to delete my VM account and ask for all data to be removed.
