Idk if this topic is relevant to the board, but I really need some help here..

So I have had my NNID on my 3ds for a while now. When I input my "email" during registration for my NNID account, I put in a wrong email by accident. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now I have a wii U and I wanted to link their NNID's. My account has been on "remember Me" for the longest time, So i have also forgotten my password D:

So now, I cannot change the email because I dont have the password

and

I cannot change the password because I have the wrong email D:


so I have 2 questions:


1) is there any way for me to change my password without using my Email? or change email without password?

2) If I were to delete the NNID I am using on my 3ds (to link it with the one on my wii U) would I lose all the games and content (i.e. SSB characters, Streetpass games, Downloaded games, etc.) I have bought with the previous NNID or will it all stay in tact in the system's Memory?

Please be serious - this is very troubling to me as I have Eshop cards to redeem and I want the funds on both systems now.

Thanks for your time :D

edit: does anybody know a number I can call for help?

1) You absolutely need to use your correct email to change password and vice-versa.
2) Don't delete your NNID from either system; you will lose literally everything tied to that account!


Looks like you'll have to call a rep from Nintendo to get your access for your NNID back.

Good luck! They can be rather helpful :) And they play nice holding music too lol I'm sure they can help you if you can give them proof it's your account somehow.
