Unable to set password or reset password

[BSpendlove]

Hi,

I have recently moved into my home and had my account details for my fathers account because I used to pay the bills, however I have changed those contact details back to my father (and sign in details) and trying to setup my account but everytime I try to set a password, it says it can't, if I try to reset my password it says I've ran into a problem (Code; DEF01)

Please can you solve this issue because it's probably something in your backend database or sign up process where your systems get confused when using the same email address across multiple accounts even after changing the old account. Thanks in advanced

Also this same error code now appears if I try to register my account using my email address so it must be in your backend somewhere, floating around and not correctly tied to my address/not allowing me to set my password to manage my new account. Thanks!

Spoiler

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