    Hi there Roberto30, 
     
    As a first step, could you please ensure that you’re trying to sign in with the relevant email address associated with your account? You can cross-check this by checking from other platforms you may have logged in to:
    If you find that it’s the same account, could you try reinstalling the mobile app and see if that does the trick? 
     
    Let me know how it goes!

      Thanks for the help.

      I confirm the email address. I accessed from my tablet and checked it again.As far as reinstalling the app, this doesn't seem easy.This app is preinstalled and the choices you have when trying to uninstall are "forced stop" and "deactivate" I performed those 2 actions then re-activate. I'm still stuck as before. Thanks again
