My password was changed against my will ...

Hello,
I had an account. The ID is: [Redacted for privacy]
While it was opened, I saw that the password was changed against my will.
I tried to reset it, it did not work out. I knew that the password doesn't even exist, which is bizarre. I have used this acocunt for many years.
It is clear that someone has hacked it.
I need to reset it now and then get it back after getting a new protected password.
How could I proceed?
Thanks in advance.
First things, first: for your safety and protection, please never, ever include any personally identifiable information such as your real name, Skype account name, e-mail address, or a telephone number in a post on a public Community or forum such as this. Thanks!

Hi, Chafic, and welcome to the Community,
As ridiculous as this may sound, create a new account so that you can contact Skype Customer Service in order to recover your first account.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
More details to help you through the process: you will need to proceed through each step, one at a time. Sign on to the Skype website as requested. Choose the subject and topic which most closely matches the item you need assistance with. Then, continue past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the blue "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip through Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started. When you complete the webform and click Submit, your information is relayed to Skype and you will receive a reply via e-mail.
Regards,
Elaine

My Macbook was hacked by somebody right after activating downloaded VLC player.
I couldn’t control my machine. Every thing was messed up! Finally after reboot I realized that even my administration password was changed. Stupid hint I was able to reed: What located in box above low case ? I used my friends computer and founded hot to fix my problem using Unix commands to reboot in a single user mode. I founded a lot of different solutions which had prity the same beginnings but very complicated continuation, which, I understood will force me to cach during restoration anuther crap – time bomb in my mac! Finaly I did restor. somehow. But still feel somebodyies presents. Safary messed up – I will send you a log Itunes – messed up. Speaker in a top menu – grayed, and I can’t control my volume. But the most triky thing – bouth my Apple keybords – internal and mostly bluetouth external also working and typing wired! I am sorry for my spelling, because I cant check spell for Mac’s Word (in Microsoft it was F7) I have also several attacks from my neighbors by community I know their names, because they are somethere very close to me – I can see them throuth FI-FI connection. They often kick-me out from my place and started to use my resaurces. And also Mackeeper make me a hard time!
In Microsoft times u just reinstalled computer – clean installetion from corporate licensed disk. But now I am a beginner in MAC – I love it! But a lot of new and triky – at this way
Fore example – my goal – to do fool Macbook backup at external USB drive using boot srartup option and make my life yaser in case of crash. But now, I don’t know if I can trust recommended program Carbon copy cloner – Ms. Bombich?
I am very sorry for my spelling, because I feel somebodies presents, who playin with me.
Final question Do I need some antivirus Mac compatable which is update paches, service packs? How to map defolt documents folder not to a local, but to external USB?
Esquse me for a lot of questions, but I am beginner in MAC, and I LOVE it!
PS. Good news. Looks like Safari came back! Somebody, probably allredy helping!
But my interface qute different from original – so something still wrong!

My password was changed now it says system lockef how do I get back in ky computer.

My password was changed I don't know how to get back in my computer. It only show these on the screen F1 F2 F7 F9 and F10. How do I reboot my computer so I can get into it znd start over

Enterprise or business class notebooks such as the ProBook series have very stringent security.
Since you stated "system locked" that is likely to mean someone put in a power on password.
Access to your notebook will require replacement of the BIOS CMOS chip.
HP or a BIOS company will be the best choices for that, but if you have a high level of electroonics disassembly and soldering skill you can do it yourself. You will need an identical CMOS chip that has been programmed with a fresh copy of the BIOS ROM file that is applicable to your notebook.

Administrator account locked/password was changed

Hi All,
Administrator account locked/password was changed. Is there any way to see the logs to see when this happened or by whom?
Any way to lock this down then it can't be changed by another administrator account? Limit it so it can only be seen/changed by some people like A or B?

[HELP] My password was changed, I didn't change it...

I was on my skype chatting with people, suddenly my skype kicked me off and presented me with the message that my password had been changed, I tried logging back in and the information was wrong. Assuming I was being hacked I rushed to changed all my passwords. While doing so, as I was changing my skype password using the reset token, I was given the error to contact customer support for further assistance. I then resent the email token tried again and got the same error. None of my other information was changed while I was changing all my passwords. Any solutions?

Hi, Seven7and, and welcome to the Community!

Verizon Router Password was Changed randomly

Has anyone else experienced this issue before? I have since set up my own WPA2 password myself.
I reset the router by holding the reset button on the back of it, and a rep. directed me to the website where I could set up my own.
My devices would not connect automatically, and then when I went into my Network settings on my TV, it displayed a different password than what was listed on my router. Is it possible that someone hacked into my router? Should I worry about my other personal accounts (Credit cards, online banking, etc.)?
Thanks,
Brian

My password also changed randomly today. The tech was able to help me set up a new password similar to what you described. I would be curious to know as well if I was hacked as well or the reason for the password randomly changing.

Hi, Thug-, and welcome to the Community,
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service If you find you cannot sign on to the Skype website, create a new account. Use the new account to contact Skype Customer Service in order to recover access to your first account.
Here are a few extra notes to guide you along the way ...

If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent. Skype is aware there can be problems reaching the customer service unit, however people are getting through!

Password was changed

My 7 year old son changed the password on our IMac But does not remember it. Is there someway I can change the password

do you have your restore discs?

HT5622 I sent my Mac Pro Air for repairs and for some reason my user and group password was changed to Apple and I can't figure out what the password is -.help please.

Sent my Mac Pro Air for repairs and when it came back I had to download many programs. Dowloaded the OS X Mavericks but now it tells me I need an application to install it in my computer. Which application do I need? Checked the App store but am new at this and have no clue.

Did they also restore your original user account? Log out of Apple and see if yours is there to log in to.
You'll need to post the actual error message, not what you think it said. I don't think I've ever seen an error that said I needed an application to install anything on my Mac.

My apple ID was hacked. Trying to reset password but the email never reached my account. Trying to answer security questions, the birthday was changed. I am really miserable. Can anyone shed some light, please?

My gmail email is my apple ID. I found I lost access of gmail last night and I reset the password before bed. But this morning the password was changed again. My ipad also requested a password that didn't match to the one I used. I have reset my gmail once more. In addition, I added 2-step verification. But I have not received any new mail up to now. I tried to reset my apple ID. When I selected sending an email for resetting, the mail was sent but never reached my mailbox; When I selected answering security questions: the birthday was wrong. It's been changed. I am SO SO UPSET. Can any genius take pity on me and show me some guidance, please?

You should get Apple involved in sorting this out. Start at this site:
https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action
Your Apple ID can be handled through iTunes.

HT204380 It says my password has changed

I am trying to get started with Facetime and it says my Apple Id or password has changed so it will not let me sign in.

ok so i just figured it out, if it is messing up with your .mac account when you goto type in your screen name type in what ever it is and also type @mac.com then your password, it will take to another menu saying your password is wrong but you'll see that it says @mac.com twice, delete one of the @mac.com's then type password and it'll work.

My password was changed against my will ...
