Password recovery/reset

#1

Post by dduay »

I am trying to help my son reset/recover his password for his seminary test tomorrow but his account syncs to an old phone number we do not have access to . His account username is XXXXXXXXXXXX. He was originally unsure of his username and we recreated his account. we then discovered the old username but cannot access it due to the old phone number. Please advise.

Thanks,

You can recover the password using the membership record number (MRN) method. This recovery method does not require a telephone number. It only requires the MRN and his birth date.

This is a public user-to-user forum. It is not the official technical support for LDS Account. We can provide assistance with information that has been passed to us by LDS Account employees and/or information from other users who have had success is solving problems they have encountered. If you cannot resolve the password recovery problem using the MRN method, then contact your ward clerk who can help you get in contact with the global service center (GSC) for assistance.

I tried to use his MRN and it stats that the recovery function does not work for this member. the only one that seems to work is an old phone number. Is there some one I can call?
