Help with logging into Pretendo on Wii U

Hi there, can you make it two, cause when i finally set up my Inkey thingey, i forgot i had created a account on this website, so now it repeatedly gives me wrong password for every password i have.

[moderator note: post was initially posted in an account deletion thread but I’ve moved it into a separate thread and I’m not sure whether this requires an account deletion]

log in with the account you want and reply here to confirm it

This one, i have my Wii u up and running, so it should have the EU stuff when i go onward with creating a account

can you advise them to create a separate thread in future? I’ve moved this into a separate thread

I haven’t forwarded on your request as this sounds like something we could resolve.

Have you tried resetting your password?

I did try to use my Pretendo account, it says “Network ID already linked to another Console”

Using my own Nintendo ID is no dice either, cause it wants a password and out of all passwords ive used, including the one on my Switch, its a no go there too

When connected to Pretendo in Inkay, your NNID will always say wrong password because you’re connected to Pretendo Servers not Nintendo.

You said you have 2 PNIDs already.

Is one of them already on your console?

We can help you with everything, but we need to take this one step at a time because I feel there is a lot of missed information here.

Yeah, i read though the guides, but i think i might have done something wrong somewere in the process.

I have my own nintendo account, and the newly created Pretendo account, i did it from the website, with the same email and lowercase name as i have here.

The problem is when i try to “retrive” my Pretendo account, it says its already linked somewere else.

My Nintendo account is there on default (The only account atm)

While my Pretendo Account says its linked somewere already, so i cant acess it, when i try to go though the standard process with the “add new user” on my Wii U already connected to the Pretendo Servers.

Is your PNID and NNID the same?

yes, my NNID has the uppercase Loke48 while my PNID has the lowercase loke48, something tells me that my NNID is from EU, and my PNID is from US that might cause issues… probably.

I had auto log in on my Wii U and then installed Inkay, then tried using my PNID on the console, as kinda the default way of creating NNID.

No, the problem is that the ID is the same.

It has nothing to do with region.

This is what I recommend:

  1. Make a new PNID directly from the console on a new user.

That way you can sign in and do everything directly on the console, and we can assist with account deletions after.

In the end you will have 2 users with 2 Miis:

  1. NNID user and Mii
  2. PNID user and Mii

Shall i do it with a new email or can i use the same email?

You can totally use the same email - that is not a problem. :slight_smile:

Thank you, ill try to create a new account on my Wii U!

I cant use the same username?

Correct. It has to be different than your NNID and any existing PNID.

Alright, i created a new Id, and it worked

Very good!

Now, do you wan to proceed with the account deletion(s) of the now-unneeded PNID(s)?
