Forgotten password and cant reset it as no access ...

I cant remember my skype password as it is ages since I used it.
There is no point in my trying to change my password as I cant access the email account I used when I set up my skype account.  I have now set up a new skype account but I would like to be able open my old account if possible.
Is there any way around this?

Hi, cmarl, and welcome to the Community,
If you can pass the account verification process,  you may be able to recover access to your first account.  This FAQ article provides more information than fits here:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA109/i-can-t-sign-in-to-skype
You will need to contact Skype Customer Service as we here in the Community do not have the tools to process account recovery requests.
Regards,
Elaine

  • Dont know my icloud password and cant reset my iphone. Help!

    I got a new iphone 6 today and took it back home to sync it with my laptop. Unfortunately it synced with an old email account that I dont use anymore and also when my iphone had a restrictions passcode on it. I know how to reset the iphone using itunes but I can't do that becuase I dont know the icloud password. I need the icloud password because I cant reset the iphone until find my iphone is off. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

    You will need to do the following:
    1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and change your current Apple ID back to the old email address (this is temporary - do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password): Apple - My Apple ID
    2.     Sign into your iCloud account on your new device using the current password, and turn off Find My iPhone. Check to make sure that iCloud is not also signed on under the old ID on the device. If it is, sign it off: Settings>iCloud. Also check Settings>Messages, Settings>FaceTime, and Settings>iTunes & App Store, and if any of those are signed on with your old Apple ID, sign them off.
    3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the current email address. You will probably have to verify it.
    4.     Sign onto the apps listed above with your current Apple/iTunes/iCloud ID.

    when I try to reset the password my email address does not accept the password reset email and the security question of enter birthdaten states I have entered an incorrect date.(i'm entering my birthdate )  could the wrong birthdate have been initially entered?

  • I forgot my alternative password, and cant change from my fingerprint

    i forgot my alternative password, and cant change from my fingerprint

        Hello tonyv217, help is here front & center! To setup the alternative password, you will want to re-setup the fingerprint scan . Go to settings, Fingerprint, Fingerprint manager and replace the the finger print so that it asks for the alternative password upon setup. If you are completely locked out of the phone, you will have to do an alternate hard reset: http://vz.to/1udAqGO

  • HT201413 my daughter changed her password and cant remember it and now the ipod is diasbled what should i do

    my daughter changed her password and cant remember it and now the ipod is diasbled what should i do

    Providing she regularly synced her iPod, her purchases should be in her iTunes library. If this is the case, then you can simply reset her iPod and put all of her data back on it although I don't know if this works with apps. If she synced it before she reset the pass word then you can stop the auto sync, restore, and put the back up on it. If all else falls, iTunes and the App store remember purchases so you can't buy the same thing twice, well at least I haven't. I hope you find this helpful, and good luck getting her iPod back into usable condition.

  • HT204291 How can I find password to Apple TV? I have forgotten password and need it to activate AirPlay. Thanks!

    How can I find password to Apple TV? I have forgotten password and need it to activate AirPlay. Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Which password is it that you are looking for. If it is your airplay password, simply turn the password off in the airplay settings on the Apple TV and then turn it back on again and enter a new password.

  • I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

    I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    Skype is aware of continuing problems with the website when contacting their customer service agents. If you still experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself again redirected back to the Community, please try using a different web browser and - very important - choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented.

    My husband and I are divorcing and we have used his apple ID for our 2 apple tv's.  He changed his password and now I no longer have access to the 300 or more movies, tv shows and music.   He keeps telling me that , there is no way for us both to have it. So, since his Apple ID was the one programmed into our Apple TV's he has custody to everything.  I know there has to be a solution for this, because I can't be the be the only person this has ever happened too!
