There is a way to reset your pin. If you cannot reset or retrieve your pin why would you want any bitcoins sent to that account? You NEED your pin to make a purchase or more those bitcoins to any other place other then the account they are in.....your pin is the most important thing not to forget....it is just like a pin number for an ATM card, you cannot make purchases or send coins without your pin.

After you make the maximum number of attempts allowed, your pin will become locked for 72 hrs I believe.  After the 72 hours you may create a new pin, creating this new pin also creates a new account address.  Any funds in the previous account will be lost, but I may be wrong.  You might be able to talk to the SR people about your problem.  Until then, I would advise you to not get any bitcoins sent to your old account address.
