Hi.

I just downloaded Digital Editions. Needed to activate my computer and login with my Adobe ID. It was unable to active because of the error: E_ADEPT_RESET_PW_REQUIRED. So i changed my Adobe ID password and still got this error.

Can anyone help me solve this problem? Would love to add books with DRM on my ereader. Thanks in advance.

    I have the same error message. Did you fix it ?

    Hi, yeah solved it. For Adobe Digital Editions all the Adobe accounts need to be transferred to ByteBooks. (https://dtsbytebooks.com/register). You can choose the option “I already have an Adobe account”. Once you fixed that, you can login with that account in Adobe Digital Editions. Worked for me!

    Are you in America because I can’t receive the OTP from ByteBooks? I have contacted support but no response. I am so annoyed because now I can’t borrow any e-books from my library. I need Digital Editions so that I can transfer the books to my Kobo.
