    For internet banking?
    which bank is it - hopefully someone with the same account will know.

    I would think you could usually change the password rather than the log in ID?

    Oh sorry - not usually, they tend to only allow it if you have accidentally used your own real name or email address or something see here - http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/site/forum-faqs#username
    Alternatively people sometimes just stop using one account and create another one.

    How can I change my username?
    In most circumstances, this is not permitted.

    The only reason we will change your username is if it puts your privacy at risk. This usually means you've inadvertently registered using your name, email address or something that gives away your identity within your username.

    If you fall into this category, email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com and request that it is changed, giving three alternative usernames in order of preference.
