Password never works after setting up my pretendo account

So, pretty much i saw a guide that told me i need to put my pretendo account’s password instead of my old one. I tried changing it to the pretendo one but my old one didnt work. Tried again, didnt work. Tried the other password instead of my nnid one, didnt work. Heck i even tried making a temporary password BUT, the second i need it? My wii u just says nuh uh womp womp bi- and says that it “tried” sending me an email for the temporary password thing but it didnt work. Triend on the nintendo support website? I got sent the email, but it doesnt work.
pls help me

Did you create a separate account on your console for the PNID? This step is required, as you can’t create a PNID with the same username as your NNID and just change the password on the console due to technical reasons.

Here’s a link to the official guide, which is the one we recommend.

You can just create a new account under the same email. Are you sure you want it deleted?

5

yes
but one thing
so pretty much i need to:
Create a nnid
Make another pnid without the same id but then what do i need to do?

I’d recommend looking at the “PNID setup” section of the official guide I linked, as it will always be up-to-date.

You just link it to your Wii U under a new profile.

(I’m not in a clear state of mind at the moment, so sorry if I screw up here.)

So i need to:
not make a nnid
remake the pnid
link the pnid as my nnid and it will work?
again, ty

Yep, that’s correct. Don’t create any new NNID on Nintendo’s servers.

Ok tysm
also 1 question, if i need to make another wii u user, do i need to put my save files back on it?

13

Yes, you will. There are instructions in the guide for using SaveMii to copy over your save data to the new account.

You’ve already requested for an account deletion. Use a different username.
