Erase Authorization

[Leon_Capart]

I cannot erase my authorization. I tried with my Adobe password, and the one from "Authorization Information" that includes 45 digits.

Nothing works, and I still cannot read any ebooks from the Public Library thru OverDrive.

It's been over 2 weeks now and I can get no answer as to how to fix this. None from Adobe, OverDrive, Nook, Local library.

I was even thinking about buying a new Nook, but the problem would probably still be there.

Please help
