Spread the Word
Hello! I was so excited about joining FriendPC as a Virtual Friend but was impossible to form an friend account, the website kept me in the subscriber member section. I kept being told over and over that my password was wrong. Also, I kept being told I could not use the same email address over and over.
It is near 1 am here, and this gal is tired.
Hi. In that case I would suggest trying to create another account from another email address that you own. Alternatively, you can try to recover the password for your existing account via the login form.
Hello i there dear sometimes i get the same problem. But what i do is exist the page and reinter it again to see if the system got stuck or to resart the computer again.
