How To Reset Forgotten Password On Nintendo Switch

Let's show you how to reset your account password on Nintendo Switch if you have forgotten it.

In this video, I walk you through the steps to reset your password on Nintendo Switch. First, on the Console and go to Settings, and then go down to Users. Click on the User that is connected to the account you need to reset the password for. Scroll to Check Your Account Information. Click on Re-enter password and then at the bottom click on Forgot Your Password and then Send e-mail. Go to your email on your computer or phone and then open the email sent from Nintendo. Click on the URL to change your password. Enter your Date of Birth or your Nintendo nickname and then click Submit. Enter your new password, confirm, and then Submit. Now you can sign in with your new password on your console.

Idk if this is just me but when I reset my password it doesn’t change the password to sign in. Do you know a solution that could resolve this problem?
