Title: Changing password - lost connection now can't log in :/
Post by: darkblue217 on May 21, 2013, 01:26 am
Hey,

I signed up with this (darkblue217) username on the main SR site.  After a look around and some online searching, I decided to go ahead and add some bitcoins.  I went to the deposit part and read the note saying that the password/pin should be noted.  I thought I'd best change it and encrypt it for backup on a USB.

During changing the password, I lost connection via tor. 

Now it won't let me back in to the user account :/ 

I've got bitcoins in it   :/

Any way to reset the password?  I've tried every variation of what it could have picked up, but nada, zilch.  Nothing.

Might be a stupid question, but have you tried the old PIN?

If you can't get back in, please see the SR Wiki entry here:
