Now I am getting API03 code error

Hey @lazerfaze, thanks for reaching out to us and a warm welcome to the Virgin Media forums.

I'm sorry to hear about the issues with the My Virgin Media account setup 😞
May I ask if you're able to send a screenshot of the issue?
Are you able to try a different email, web browser or a different device?

Let us know.

Kind regards,
Ilyas.

I can't use a different email address as it just says I have to use the one that I used when signing up with virgin for my internet. 

I have cleared my cache and tried 3 different devices. It's the same no matter what I try

Same problem I'm afraid. Doesn't matter what password I try, it's always the same outcome

Are yo using Chrome as your browser?

If so, can you please try using a browser other than Chrome and try using this link here. When creating your password please make sure you're follow these below criteria; 
 

  • Between 8-10 characters
  • Start with a letter
  • Contain at least one number
  • No special characters

Exactly the same problem. Using Edge on my laptop

This is after 2 or 3 errors popping up as mentioned in my initial post
