My phone number has changed and the old one is linked to my sons account. I need help resetting the password in order to change the phone number. Im willing to send pictures of my license to prove who I am.

    Hey there! Nice to meet you!

    Just to confirm, did you have two-factor authentication (2FA) active on the account?

    If yes, are you able to access the second factor of authentication?

    Important: If you have an active 2FA, ACSR will inform you that your recovery request will be ignored. If you only receive a message that the recovery request is either successful or indicates insufficient information, this means that 2FA is disabled.

    Also, may I know when was the last time you successfully signed in to your account?

    Best regards,

    Darhyl
