How do I get my Nintendo Network ID password without email?

Answered by Cody Janus

To get your Nintendo Network ID (NNID) password without email, you will first need to update your email address associated with your NNID. This is necessary because the Forgot Password feature requires access to the email address linked to your account for password recovery.

To update your email address, you will need to contact Nintendo for support. They have a dedicated support team that can assist you with this process. Here’s how you can reach out to them:

1. Visit the Nintendo Support website: Go to the official Nintendo website and navigate to the Support section. Look for the Contact Us or Support page.

2. Contact options: Nintendo offers various methods to contact their support team, including phone, email, and live chat. Choose the option that is most convenient for you.

3. Explain the situation: When contacting support, explain that you need to update the email address associated with your NNID because you no longer have access to the current email address.

4. Provide necessary information: Support may require you to provide certain details to verify your identity and account ownership. This could include your NNID, date of birth, and any other information associated with your account. Make sure to have these details ready when contacting support.

5. Follow instructions: Once you have contacted support and explained your situation, they will guide you through the process of updating your email address. They may ask you to provide a new email address that you have access to.

6. Verify new email address: After updating your email address, Nintendo may send a verification email to the new address. Follow the instructions in the email to verify the new email address.

7. Use Forgot Password feature: Once your email address has been updated and verified, you can now use the Forgot Password feature on the Nintendo website or console to reset your NNID password. Follow the prompts and instructions provided to reset your password.

It’s important to remember that the process of updating your email address and resetting your password may take some time and require communication with Nintendo’s support team. Be patient and follow their instructions carefully to ensure a successful resolution.

Personal Experience:
I once encountered a similar situation where I needed to update my email address associated with my Nintendo Network ID. I had lost access to the original email account and couldn’t use the Forgot Password feature. I contacted Nintendo’s support team through their live chat option.

The support representative was friendly and understanding. They asked me a few questions to verify my identity and account ownership. Once that was confirmed, they guided me through the process of updating my email address.

I provided a new email address that I had access to and received a verification email shortly after. After verifying the new email address, I was able to use the Forgot Password feature to reset my NNID password.

The support experience was smooth and efficient. Nintendo’s support team was helpful in resolving my issue and I was able to regain access to my NNID.
