Attempted to change password yesterday for extra security, on my laptop for my Virgin.net address. Typed in new password with "strong" recommendations and was informed I could not use this one. Attempted several more arcane passwords and they were all rejected. Then tried to access my email address with my original password and was informed email or password was not recognised. Then a message came up on my phone to check my account credentials. I am locked out of my email address for trying to improve security. Tried again this morning - after inputting my DoB security question- and the usual routine unfolded: "you can't use this password". then back to the start again. Attempted to communicate with Virgin...can you help please? Sense of urgency...

Hi Burfo,
Thank you for your post and welcome to our forums 🙂
I am sorry you are having issues with your password, can I ask if have you tried a different browser or device? Have you cleared all cookies/cache?

Sometimes the can't use that password message appears even though the new password has been accepted. The fact that your old password no longer works suggests that it has in fact been changed.
Try signing in with the most recent 'rejected' password.

Afternoon, I have tried a seeming myriad of passwords. I have attempted using the first one I made up, with no joy. I tried a number of new passwords over the last two days and can’t remember the various permutations. Thanks for prompt response. Way forward?
