Secondary account can not change password

I have a secondary account and I can not login into via the web, I have access thru a app.  When I click forgotten password it says my email address does not exist.  Can anyone help as I need access thru the web.

    Every e-mail account in VM now requires a unique sign-in using a non-VM e-mail account. You can't use the same non-VM e-mail for more than one VM e-mail.

    I have 2 old ntlworld e-mail addresses that we run as a family and I've had to use 2 separate Gmail accounts to create VM log-on details to access them.

    Although each ntlworld e-mail account has the old e-mail address working, each is called XXXX.gmail.com in the list of accounts held by Virgin. That may be why the system says your account doesn't exist as its looking for those log-in details, not actual working e-mail address.

    Hi pshill17, 

    Thank you for your post and welcome back to our community forums. We're here to help.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having some trouble accessing an email address/account. Is the affected address linked to an active broadband service with us?

    Thanks,
