I couldnt connect to any online features so it asked me to give Nintendo my password for help. But to my misfortune I couldnt remember my password so I guessed it a few times and I got locked out! It tells me to try again later but no luck. This is one example of Nintendos bullcrap. im so pissed now I can barley type! Help!!!

I will say that Nintendo does a lot of wonky things, but what you are complaining about is a standard practice everywhere. If you continue to make an attempt to login an account over a select given time (Some account based systems have different X amount of times) then the system locks attempts to login for a select amount of time. This is a form of account protection.

Your best bet would be finding the "Forgot my password" option and getting an e-mail for instructions on how to obtain a new password and/or a temporary password to be able to access your account once again.

Pretty much what unholy said. Most platforms involving passwords will lock you out after to many failed attempts. You have to wait a certain period to get back in. Could be 4 hours or more. Can't blame Nintendo for forgetting your password.

That's to stop brute force attacks at your account.
You're better off remembering your password.

Always write your password down somewhere. problem solved, not Nintendo's fault. They do that to protect your account.
