Did you write it down and put it away for safe keeping somewhere ?

You'll likely have to contact a moderator...click on the ? in lower right side of screen to start the process.

Since you also do not know the answer to your account security question, click on the question mark symbol to open up the an automated chat window. Fill in information about forgetting your password and then open a service ticket.

Moderators do take 1-2 days to respond. Which plan are you on presently?

If you have a credit card on file, you could buy a data add on by dialing 611. It is kinda expensive, but unused portion does roll over to next month.

Here is a good thread on the 611:

I know that you need access URGENTLY, but it is not possible with PM customer service model. You will need to contact moderator as described above and it will take 1-2 days to get access typically.

My solution above is to dial 611 from your phone and buy a Data add on. $30 for 1 GB. $10 for 200 mb. Then you will have data/internet. Expensive, but you will have data.

This thread isn't applicable to your question. Submit a ticket to modrators via SIMon and they can help reset your password. You can click here: https://publicmobile.ca.ada.support/chat/

I see you already have posted and accepted a solution for the same question in another thread. Make sure to look out for the email from moderators because they have a 2 hour expiry to reset the password.

I've done (or helped others do) password reset several times.

Sometimes the Mods implemented it promptly but for whatever reason I had to wait a long time (hours, even a few days) before being informed about it. The default/reset password (for me) has always been public123 - I've been able successfully use it for login long before receiving their response. You are of course required to change the password to something else the first time you login after the reset.

@manjeetYou have to disable all adblockers and privacy blockers for SIMon to work properly. Clear your cache, restart your browser and disable your add ons.

Interesting...I wasn't aware you could reset the password, without waiting for a moderator, with a default password. The password reset sent to me was simply 123.

I'm not sure if that raises some security issues if the password reset is simply the same default everytime and can be done without moderator involvement.

@GR You offered the right suggestion.

But the wording that concerns me is "talk". This may lead new customers to believe that this is an actual live chat session, which it is not. I would rather say that a ticket must be submitted to Moderators and they will respond within 1 to 2 days.

@dabr I think Korth meant the Moderator reset his password but only informed him later.

Meanwhile he knew what the default password would be and was able to logon well before being informed of the reset. Security issue? Perhaps a small one.

Perhaps a small one but I just think it would be more secure to actually receive the email reset before being able to reset it via a default which Korth says he did before he received a response from the moderators. Unless I'm totally missing something in his post:)

I agree it would be more secure (less unsecure) for the password reset and the notification about it to occur together.

But my experience was that this isn't (or wasn't) how things got done here. I discovered it "accidentally" while waiting hours for a password reset before impatiently trying the password I was given for a previous password reset... didn't really expect it to work but it worked anyhow, then again as an experiment. Maybe (hopefully) the same default password doesn't always work - but it doesn't really hurt to try it.

I understand it was worth the try, saved you some time knowing moderators response can take many hours, if not days. But I noticed your password was very similar to the one I was given (123). I would prefer that it's a different password reset every time and should only be allowed after getting it from the moderators.
