Mozilla Support would not recognize my old password and would not send an email to reset it [need ADMIN]
Needed to find a solution to the Firefox Mobile Synching problem and tried to log in to my Mozilla Support account (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US). It would not accept my password that worked before saying that "Accounts created before December 2010 may have issues logging in. Please reset your password below. " Okay, tried to reset password and got this: "We've sent an email to any account using this address. Please follow the link in the email to reset your password." However, no email arrived, after two days and about a dozen of attempts!!!!!! At the same time, I could easily get an email confirmation of my ID and verification that account is active. The only problem is with receiving an email that resets the password.
So, I had to create a new account with a temporary email to use Support - it would not allow me to use my main email address, because "it is used by another account". Thus, my old account is completely locked, and I can not use my email address for a new one. This is not only my problem - I saw other people running into the same trouble. It needs to be fixed soon. At the very least, I need somebody with ADMIN privileges to resend me an email for password reset or delete my old account altogether, so I can use my email again. My old user ID is: TPN49. Thanks.
OK Glad it is fixed, thanks for posting back.
I am not sure if that was due to silent Admin action,or whether it was due to a bug fix with the SUpport. MOzilla (sumo) system.
(IIRC there may have been a couple of recent bug reports but I do not have time to look into that at the moment)

i have a new email so have a new apple ID now and am trying to change it in icloud. but it has locked me out and won't send my email a reset password link for some reason. even though it says its sent, it doesnt come to the email address. help!
Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
You will need to show patience with the procedure and be prepared to demonstrate without question that the account belongs to you. Don’t expect access to be restored immediately and if you aren’t the owner of the Apple ID registered to the device the account won’t be reset.

I have updated my iOS and now my hotmail will not verify my password through apple mail app. I have reset password - tried new password and old password and it still gives me password incorrect. Hotmail works fine on Mac. Has anyone had this difficulty and been able to resolve it?
Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back? I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.

Why am I not receiving the email to reset my password?
Why am I not receiving the email to reset my apple id password?
Has anyone received an answer to this? It seems that a lot of us are having the same issue. In the past i had no trouble receiving emails to reset my password but for the past week I havne't been able to login, my security questions didn't work and I haven't received any of the emails to reset my password. I've created a new Account but would rather get into my old account because it's linked to my perfered email address. Hum..
Any help from the community would be much apprecated! thanks!

I've had an Apple ID under an old email address. I have a new Apple ID under my current email. Is there a way to link or merge the two together? I don't remember the old password and that email address is no longer active. If I cannot link or merge the two, how can I activate the old ID on the new computer if that email account is no longer active?? Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance!!
You cannot merge accounts.
You need to sign into the old account on your computer.
iTunes Store: Retrieving and changing passwords (Apple ID) -
I have another apple ID but I forgot the password and apple does not send the link to reset it to my email. What do I do to have it back? It is really important.
If you know the answers to your security question for the ID you can use that method to reset the password rather than email (by going to https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid).
If you don't, you'll have to contact iTunes Store support for assistance: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html. They frequently deal with Apple ID issues. -
My iCloud email address and my apple ID are different. I would like to change my iCloud to be the same as my apple ID. However I don't know my iCloud password and don't use the email address it belongs to. When I try to change the password, apple brings me to a page to reset my apple ID password (which I know and don't want to change). I have even tried to delete my iCloud account completely to start again but am not allowed without the iCloud password (which I don't have) there doesn't seem to be a place to change the email address of iCloud. What can I do?
This is the answer that I had expected, so in this case you could only change your gmail.com address to another providers email addres e.g. outlook.com, yahoo.com, etc., but you won't be able to change the gmail.com address to a icloud.com email address. Apple just won't let you do that.
Your iCloud account with @icloud.com email address and you Apple ID with gmail.com address are already connected and as I said before, Apple just let you merge this two IDs together. -

why it says The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination. when I sending pictures from iPhoto to my e-mail.
Have you tried to delete the account from your Preferences and to Re-Enter it? That usually will help.
If not, try to use "Mail.app" as mail client in iPhoto and not iPhoto. Change the the stting in the Preferences > General tab to "Email photos using Mail". This is usually more robust thanthe setting "iPHoto".
