IB paper account

Dear-

Recently IB gave me username and account number for a new paper account.

Today first time to try login my paper account but how and what password do I need to submit? If my memory is correct, I may NOT have password.

you enter password when you request a paper trading account in the account admin page, you must of forgotten it.

To avoid this kind of error, I kept screen capture (phtocopy).

I am sure that the photocopy shows ONLY username and acccount number starting DU

You can now reset the password for your paper trading account by logging into Account Management from your "live" account. No need to contact the Client Services Group. See link below for details:

For the above link

Under the "security", But there is NO " Reset Paper Trading Account Password.", in my regular account. What can I do?

 

[IB-AN]

I'd need some additional information to investigate, send me a private message if you'd like assistance.

Here is photocopy of my screen.

I do not see "Reset Paper Trading Account Password". Is it because officially no paper account yet? I remember that new paper account is open somewhere.

Can you please try the: "Manage Account", "Security" and then "Reset Paper Trading Account" menu options from your live Account Management application again?
