Re: You can't use that password

I am trying to log in, don't even have a password, would not let me create 1 previously. Now it is saying I have an account but what is the password? All I am looking for is a reset password email so I can change whatever it is. I'm getting this message when clicking "forgot password"

Contact us

 

 

You can’t reset your password online right now, as you don’t have additional details set up on your account.

To reset your password, please contact us and one of our team will help you.

 

Clicking the contact us link takes me to a phone number, there is no way I am sitting on the phone for a password reset. I haven't even had the engineer round to connect up yet but I am seriously thinking about cancelling Virgin and going back to BT.

Re: You can't use that password

Well, after trying well over 100 different password combinations it finally accepted a stupid random one, don't know why it did't accept the other 100 different ones i tried.
However now as soon as I log in im getting;

"Oops, looks like something's gone wrong on our side.
Please try again"
 
Don't think i've ever know a company as big as this to have such a pathetic and badly run website.

Re: You can't use that password

Hi @hughg1

Thanks for posting and welcome to the community. 

I am sorry for the online account issue. Is this the password issue? If so, can you confirm it meets the criteria;

  • 8-10 characters
  • Starts with a letter
  • No special characters
  • At least one number

If so, please clear all cache/cookies, browsing history and then any auto-fill passwords. This worked for me 🙂 let me know how you get on

Best
