Mobile account log-in password problem

I just received my new PlusNet SIM card, which is working OK. However, when I try to log in to my mobile account, or use the PlusNet Android app, it asks for a user name/phone number and password. I've tried using the password for my broadband account, but that isn't accepted. I've had no messages advising what the password is and if I try a password reset, I get a message saying that my email address does not match the one on the account.
Can anyone offer any ideas on how I resolve this?

Hi there,
You'll need to create a password through the password reset link here: https://www.plus.net/my-account/mobile/forgot-password
Let me know if you have any issues or if you've already tried that specific link.

Thanks for the reply. I have already tried several times to use the password reset option, but the system tells me that it does not recognise my email address.

I finally figured it out.
Where the login screen asks for a user name or phone number, neither of these work. However, if I put my mobile account number in as he user name, I can log in.
This is a very misleading log in page. If all it will accept as a user name is the account number, then it should ask for this instead of a name or phone number.

Thanks for getting back to me @Gewitty
I'm glad to see you've managed to log into your account now, although it's odd you've not been able to sign in using your mobile number as I can confirm that definitely should work (It's the way I sign in to my own account all the time)
Are you putting any spaces in the mobile number? Can you also try replacing the 0 with 44 although both should work.
