#My Wii U keeps rejecting my PNID password

I’ve tried many times over and over again to put in my exact password to my PNID-linked account on my Wii U, being very careful that it’s right, and my console keeps claiming “Incorrect password. Please try again.” I can’t say I “forgot my password”, since despite my PNID being linked to my Gmail which still functions perfectly, I get an error message whenever I try to send a message there by saying “I forgot.” What’s even weirder is that when I put that exact same password into the PNID website, it logged me in just fine. It logged me in on my Wii U a while ago, too, so why does it reject it now? It MIGHT have something to do with me moving house and having to switch all my consoles’ WiFi connections, but switching my Wii U’s connection to my new house’s router didn’t fix anything. It still says “incorrect password” despite me putting in the correct password every time and being VERY careful of it. Can this be fixed? I’m out of options, especially since it’s not yet possible to change your password outside of the linked console…

SSSL or Aroma?

What do you mean? I logged into Pretendo on my Wii U without mods, all I did was follow some tutorial that had me look up the site on my Wii U’s browser… I think. It was months ago

you typed in a DNS address, right?

#

first, make sure it is correct.

#

How do I make sure of that?

worn geyser
#

go to System Settings --> Internet Settings --> Connect to the Internet

#

then press X and select your network

#

afterwards select Change Settings

#

push the right arrow to go to the next page. you should see the DNS option at the bottom. select that

#

then tap Don't Auto-obtain

#

then enter these values

#

hit Confirm, then press B, and select Connection Test

#

once it succeeds, confirm and set your connection at the default.

Did that, it connected successfully

#

Do I try logging in now?

worn geyser
#

yes.

#

quit System Settings and sign out.

#

assuming you haven't homebrewed your console, as you said earlier

#

on the user select screen, press +

It worked

#

Thank you

worn geyser
#

that was fast.

#

like you were able to sign into your Pretendo account?

crude karma
#

Yes

worn geyser
#

wow.

crude karma
#

It’s working again

worn geyser
#

yay!

crude karma
#

Thank you so much

worn geyser
#

no problem

#

though I would recommend modding your console in the future.

#

it's pretty safe to do, and it doesn't take long

#

plus you'll be able to use Miiverse again
