Title: How to reset pin# without waiting 3 days
Post by: mark00 on December 07, 2012, 01:45 am
Oky, so I am an idiot, I signed up to SR about a month ago, i went on the website and did some research about bitcoins and SR before i was comfortable with buying anything on SR and using bitcoins. well today i transferred some bitcoins, went to make a purchase and could not remember my pin #  I never made a pin numbers that i could not remember. I have never had this happen (just for the record) Well now SR says it will take 3 days before they will let me reset my pin. Has anyone else had this happen?  Is there a way to get around the 3 day wait period. Please help.

No there is not, you can only change it if you know it. Just fail it 5 times ASAP and wait the 3 days.

oky, thanks
Hey, one more question, my bitcoins are in my account, since we dont release the funds until after we get the product, would it be a big deal to ask the vender to send the product to me now, by the time i reset my pin it will still be another day or so before i get the product since im ordering priority mail and i dont think they ship over the weekend. then i can transfer the funds to them. idk i guess thats a stupid idea.

No this would not be a good way to try to correct the error, but be thankful that the pin reset delay is there for your protection, but was reduced from 7 days recently. It sucks to have the delay but SR is about patience.
