[Wii U] Switching an existing User with NNID to a Pretendo Network ID

[blissful trench]

Hello Guys, i wanted to switch my old Wii U User from my NNID to my Pretendo Network ID, but I can't change it because i have to enter the Password for my old NNID which obviously doesn't work anymore... Is there a Solution?

[crystal vigil]

use the forgot password option

But this gives me the Errorcode: 102-2452... I'm running Aroma with the Pretendo Plugging

odd

[crystal vigil]

wait why are you running with inkay on for NNID

[sour vault]

remove the SD card and reboot the console

[crystal vigil]

that could help yes

[blissful trench]

Ok i'll try

[blissful trench]

Because i recently reactivated my Wii U it was still running Haxchi from 2018...

And this User has all my old Saves

[crystal vigil]

that doesnt answer my question

you cant connect to nintendo network while connected to inkay

[blissful trench]

Yeah makes sense when you think about it ':)

[crystal vigil]

literally because it patches out the NN links?

[blissful trench]

Yes

[sour vault]

did it work out for you?

[blissful trench]

I'll try it later...

[sour vault]

ok tell @crystal vigil if it was a sucess or not,I will be sleeping by 11PM so i don't have time to reply

[blissful trench]

So i made it a little bit different: I found the Homebrew Application Wii U Account Swap... With this I backed up my NNID account.dat (just in case, even though i won't need it anymore at this point) and unliked it. Than i just switched inkay to use Pretendo Network and signed in...

[sour vault]

did you unlink you NNID?,that is still important for certain stuff

[blissful trench]

Yes

But still have the backup, so i can just restore it...

[sour vault]

you will need to restore it when you update new games that you might buy

[blissful trench]

Yeah ok that's a point... But other than that it works for me, since i already have tons of Games with the Updates already downloaded

[sour vault]

and do you want me to close this thread?,since it's done now

[blissful trench]

I can try the "forget password" Method and report if it worked, after that you can close it...

[sour vault]

report to anyone in the support chat by the way

[blissful trench]

Ok

[pure sentinel]

I'm also getting this error :(

[blissful trench]

You have to disable Pretendo Network using inkay, or just take out the SD Card

[pure sentinel]

i just didnt have a second user lol

[blissful trench]

How do you mean this?

[blissful trench]

@crystal vigil I tried it, but didn't get the email. Than i found out, that i no longer have access to email i used for the NNID (i thought it was a different one). But you can open the Connected NNID dumped with Wii U Account Swap in a Text editor and get the used email and password this Way...
