  1. Pin only accepting numbers, not letters


    The system will not accept alpha characters for pin will only accept numbers. This applies both to start-up screen and to trying to reset pin. How can I get the system to accept alphabetical characters so I can sign in and/or reset my pin?

    :)

    A PIN is always only numbers. If you have a password then that is letters and numbers.

    Are you able to swap between PIN and password at the sign-in screen.
