Reset PIN not working

I just upgraded to a Sky Q box, and was annoyed to discover that the PIN is still a "feature".
My PIN from my Sky HD box didn't work.
The default 0000 didn't work.
The last 4 digits of my Sky account number didn't work.
The last 4 digits of my bank account number didn't work.
I can't reset the PIN in the Q box, because it's asking for the current PIN.
I've logged into My Sky and reset the PIN a few times, and powered the Q box off and on again.
But the new PIN number still doesn't work on the Q box.
Help!

@spud71 the default pin number on Q is the last 4 digits of your viewing card 

you can find your card number by pressing the home button scrolling down to settings then system info
