Password reset not working

JThomson

I recently set up a Vodafone broadband account that I cannot access.

 

I received an email with my username and a temporary password with instructions to log on and change the password to something memorable. In the process of doing this I was met with a server error message which prevented me from finalising this setup and setting a password. I am now in a situation where the account is locked, the initial password emailed to me does not work and I haven't set my own password. 

 

I have attempted to go through the forgotten password route and have received multiple temporary password emails, meaning that my username, email, and pass code are all setup correctly. However, every time I try to enter one of these temporary passwords I am met with an 'unexpected error' message and still cannot access the account (see below).

I have tried this on several occasions on both my phone as well as on my laptop only to be met with the same error. Is it possible to fix this?

 

Additionally, I have another Vodafone account for my mobile that works fine. Is this error caused by multiple accounts being registered with the same details?

 

In the event that this password issue cannot be resolved, would it be possible to merge these accounts so that I can pay my broadband bills through the mobile account that works?

Hi @JThomson 

 

If you have a mobile account already set up all services can be shown on the same account.  If you contact Vodafone through Customer Service channels, they will be able to add the broadband to your pay monthly account for you to benefit from Vodafone Together.

 

You can contact the Broadband Team from here: Broadband and Home phone FAQ's Alternatively, speak to the Social Team by following the information here: Contact Us 

Hi @AnnS

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

I sent a message to VodafoneUK on Facebook last night linking to this post and was asked if I wanted to link the two accounts. I confirmed that I did, but I have heard nothing back. I sent another message this morning to no reply and it appears that I cannot restart the bot as a conversation has already started. I have also tried using the Vodafone live chat only to be met with error messages and a never ending loading screen.

 

Is there a way I can email Vodafone to resolve this issue?
