Hi 

Ihave been trying to sign up to manage my broadband for a couple of weeks now and cannot create an account. 
Each time I try, I get an error message 

Oops, we've ran into a problem.
Wait a minute and try again. If this doesn't work, please come back later. (Code: DEF01)

I have tried using a different browser, with no luck.
I can see that this happened to other community members but I can't find the solution.
Please help!

Thanks

thanks

Hi Bridie1

Thanks for posting and welcome to the community.

I am sorry to hear you've not been able to reset the password but thanks for letting me know the error message you are getting. This error message you've got normally is generated when creating the account not trying to reset the password so this is interesting. 
Please do create your own thread though in future as easier to keep track of posts and avoid missing things 🙂

The first thing we'd ask you to do is to try clearing all cache/cookies, browsing history and also password auto-fill, before retrying the reset of the password 🙂

The next thing if that didn't work, is can you confirm which website page you are using please; 

https://my.virginmedia.com/my-profile/view or https://www.virginmedia.com/my-virgin-media/account-settings/details

Also the new password you're inputting, does it meet the criteria below;

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

Let me know.

Hi John

Problem solved, many thanks for your help.  My password started with a special character, and when I tried a new password starting with a letter and no special characters it worked a treat

Kind regards

Bridie
