Call to your nearest TIN Facilitation Centre they will help to you.

Click the option Forget pasword, then enter :

Enter you PAN No. as the user id and enter
In the next screen enter the secret question and answer which you entered during registration.
enter E-filing Acknowledgement number of previously e-filed return and select correct AssYr
Enter new passwor and retype the password
Enter the verification code

and submit.

By this process you can get the new password, no need to break the password.

The only stone is the secret question and answer which was entered during registration, if hit correctly you will be able to reset the new password.

AGREED WITH MR. AKHIL,

GO THROUGH THE OPTION FORGET PASSWORD AND GET NEW PASSWORD AFTER FOLLOWING SOME STEPS.

You only need to enter ur last yr acknowledgement number and secret question is not needed. So, go from forget pw option and get it again without facing any difficulty.

dear members, if secret question was given in the return filling of AY 2009-10, then without the proper reply to the secret question, one cannot retrieve the password. one then has to take help of the IT CAll center.
