xslt not working as expected with root element

I have xml as follows

   <pin>
        <securityProfile>
            <userName>userName</userName>
        </securityProfile>
    </pin>

Expected output

     <user_id>
          <userName>userName</userName>
    </user_id>

xslt 

<xsl:template match="/pin">
    <user_id>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="securityProfile/userName"/>
    </user_id>      
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="userName">
    ..........................
</xsl:template>

If i change <xsl:template match="/pin"> to <xsl:template match="/"> , then it is not working.What might be the reason .here pin is the root element.

Thanks in advance..

If you change that, you also need to change:

<xsl:apply-templates select="securityProfile/userName"/>

to:

<xsl:apply-templates select="pin/securityProfile/userName"/>

Otherwise you're applying templates to non-existing nodes.
