So to make this a long story short, I was a dumbass as a kid and for some reason made a bunch of random accounts on my Wii U, all of which I forgot the password too (except my main account and original account) I can't do the Forgot Password as i just get error code 102-2160, since the Nintendo Network servers shut down. I don't want to factory reset my Wii U as I've had it for a long time and its really nostalgic, I have Tiramisu and Aroma installed, and I can't use Pretendo since I can't make a new user on the console. Is there any way to forcibly remove the users, without resetting the console?

There is no save way. So for safety reasons the very first thing to do would be to backup all save games. After that you could try this: https://gbatemp.net/threads/deleting-wii-u-user-without-nid-password.493387/page-5#post-10192667 - Be warned that for at least two users (me included) this deleted the user account instead of unlinking it... That's why you want backups.

As you have none accessible users and stuff it might be a good idea to factory reset anyway through to get rid of the years old garbage (like these user account you can't even use). As said just backup your savegames and maybe other important stuff (like the Miis) to be able to restore them afterwards, so you won't loose much of your nostalgic feeling.

    @SylverReZ, I dislike the kind of drm where you have to play single player games online all the time bc of some verification bs

    @Xdqwerty, Don't use games that have Easy Anti-Cheat as its been exploited many times.

    @SylverReZ, I also heard one of the Prince of Persia games was so unfinished that it required the "24/7 online" drm so a puzzle could be done and the game could be finished. And that when the Ubisoft servers were closed the (cracked) game was impossible to finish or something like that
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's extra scummy. Ubisoft nowadays ship out incomplete games like Skull and Bones which was being worked on for nearly a decade now.

    @SylverReZ, i think they have been doing that since late 2000s

    Either that or their old games were unfinished aswell but we can't notice it
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I like that games can be fixed after the fact, hate that it's being abused via beta tests... And DLC... I was a 7800 owner back in the day and loved Impossible Mission, turns out I couldn't beat it because it was actually impossible lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I never knew about it at the time but a fixed version was available but you had to mail in your broken copy lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    So that version is semi rare
