@MCNABBY  Your post has been moved to a new thread for clarity.

Have you tried to change the password for your wife's email address.

Each email address now has its own My VM account

Secondary accounts changes now have to be made via the My Virgin Media account for the secondary email.

Sign into the account here: https://www.virginmedia.com/my-virgin-media using the email address concerned and the current password. Once logged in click on Account Settings then Account details. You should now see the options to change password etc.

If that isn't available try https://www.virginmedia.com/my-virgin-media/forgotten-details/password

If no security answers have been set for the email address concerned then you will need to call in for support and select technical issues> email

Well, fair enough Graham, but please tell me how a thread which starts with 'I'm having the same problem', can possibly improve the clarity of the poster's issue. Because, as there is no context, personally, I don't have a clue as to what the issue is, or might be, or, indeed how to advise.

@jem101 

The post subject is self explanatory - an issue with resetting passwords for secondary accounts.

Piggybacking on old resolved threads is against community guidelines and can cause confusion for subscribers to the original thread and for staff as you should well know with your community history.
