How can I change my password reset email address?

My AppleID password reset link keeps going to an old email address. Is there a way of changing the reset email address?

Go to your country from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 or use AppleCare country number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team...they can handle that for you.

Password reset email being sent to an email address other than my id

Hi,
I am having a strange issue with password reset emails. I have two email addresses. Hypothetically [email protected] and [email protected] My apple ID uses the login id of [email protected] and has another account associated with it called [email protected] When I request a password reset it is sent to [email protected] I can't find out why it's sending it to this account that I don't see as being linked to my apple ID. At some point in the past I have must have had this email address, [email protected], associated with my account but don't see it anywhere. I can still access this email address and can still retrieve the emails but I will be losing this email address next year... I get all notification emails to my @home address - only the reset emails go to @work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Serialc

So an example of why this is weird if I was not clear. When I change my apple id phone numer I receive an email on [email protected], when I ask for a password reminder I receive it on [email protected]
I have tried changing my primary username/password to [email protected] and back to [email protected] to try and reset things - no change.

Received an apple id password reset email the night ipod classic was stolen. Coincidence?

My iPod classic was stolen from my vehicle. The same evening I received an apple id password reset email. Is it possible that the thief initiated the email with just the iPod and maybe my name (as it is on the vehicle registration in my car). There is no way this person could know my email address to initiate a request.

That's the only answer, if your email address was on the iPod the thief has it, everything on the iPod is open to him/her. But it would have to include your AppleID.
It was a coincidence.

Support forum password reset email not received...

I'm trying to login to the support forums. I have my user name, rsmith79. What I thought was my password apparently isn't. I tried multiple times to get a password reset email sent to me but I haven't received one. And yes, I'm using the correct email address to request one. I was stuck having to create this new account. I want to get access to my old account. Please help.

Have we got a password reset feature now then ? <br />I had not noticed !
* EDIT yes link is https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/users/resendconfirmation <br /> and I imagine that may only work with the correct and original email account.
You only seem to have made one other post [/questions/816588], but that is now old and unanswered and was closed by this forums automated systems.

Have you got any other questions you need answering ?

New password and email address won't transfer to ipod

Hello,
my mom owns an 8GB itouch. Recently I changed her account password and email address. However, this information won't transfer to her ipod; it still asks for the old password before downloading an app. The problem with this is, that she doesn't remember her old password, or her new one for that matter. I've tried to access her new account but now iTunes tells me that the account is locked and I won't be able to get a new password.
Thank you so much for any help you could give me!

I did reset the iPod back to factory settings, and after that all selected tracks in my iTunes Library were properly synchronised again.
Still wondering though if there'd been a less 'drastic' measure.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Not receiving the iCloud password reset email

I am trying to assist a friend in retrieiving the information stored on his iCloud account via an iPhone that has since been broken
I've attempted to use the link several times to send an email to the Hotmail email address that is set-up as the iCloud user name but while I get the email sent confirmation, as yet no email has been received at this email address and I'm running out of suggestions as to how to help.
I also attempted to follow the security questions route to resetting the password but sadly failed at the first hurdle and I can only assume that his date of birth was originally entered incorrectly, as when I enter his actual birth date, I get an error message
I also thought that I might be able to access a password reset by using the same iCloud user name as his Apple ID, since with my own account, my Apple ID is the same as my iCloud user name but his iCloud user name is not recognised as an existing Apple ID
Any help or assistance would be most gratefully received as he's desperate to recover some photos etc that were uploaded to the iCloud from the broken iPhone and with him being somewhat technically illiterate, I appear to be the only person who can assist and without the password reset email being received at the Hotmail address which is the iCloud user name, I am totally flummoxed as to being able to offer any further assistance.
With my utmost thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to offer any sugggestions or advice in this bothersome matter
Kind Regards
Bernard

Thanks a million randers4 for taking the trouble to get back to me.
I will get my pal to come over when we've both time to sit down and foillow your advice (and the link). However, sadly I suspect that we might have a problem proving his identity to the satisfaction of the support team, as whenever I've tried to assist this mate in the past, the same issues have always arisen, where he's not got a clue as to usernames, passwords, security questions.
I presume he must have some sort of underlying paranoia about revealing any genuine information about himself online. This proves incredibly frustrating and I invariably end up tearing what's left of my hair out, in my efforts to resolve his myriad of technical queries and yet while I invariaby end up losing patience, tired of trying to drum it into him to write login details down, to keep them safe, or to only use answers that he knows he will remember, in light of everything that's come to light recently, in truth perhaps it's me who is the stupid one for freely giving up all my personal information online and it will eventually prove that he is most sensible for refusing to relinquish any genuine personal details about himself.
Then again, at least I am able to retrieve my iCloud photos!
Apologies for waffling on. Hopefully I can come back to say issue has been resolved, but I've an inkling I might have to return to enquire if there are any further options
Kind Regards
Bernard

HT5787 I can't receive password reset email!

I can’t receive password reset email. Probably because this email address has been used before as second email to another Apple ID. I removed it from the other Apple ID a week ago but still can’t receive reset email.

Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'More Products and Services', then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

How do I change password and email address?

I cannot change my password and email address because I am based in the UK and not in the US. When I try to make a change and save it, it says I have made a mistake on the fields marked red and asks me to complete the parts in red including: the state I live in and because I am not in a state it doesn't allow me to change my details. It also has a problem with my country's telephone code. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Business Catalyst - not able to login, publish or receive password reset email.

Hi,
I'm not able to login to BC or publish edits to a client Muse site. When I try to log into BC manually, I am not receiving password reset email (not in spam folder). Never been a problem before and the status report says servers are all good. Any insight appreciated (client waiting).
Thanks!

Blackberry ID Password reset email doesn't contain a link to reset password!

I'm having the same issue that this guy had in this forum (which doesn't seem to have a solution?): http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/Blackberry-ID-Password-Reset/m-p/1745415#...
Basically, I'm trying to reset my Blackberry password for my Blackberry Curve. I get a password reset email when i request it, but the email does not contain a link to reset my password. The ENTIRETY of the email is as follows:
"This email has been automatically generated. Please do not reply to this email.
If you have not previously indicated that you wish to receive emails from Research In Motion Limited and/or its affiliated companies regarding exclusive offers and updates about BlackBerry products and services and you would like to do so, please click here.

Does anyone know what the problem is? It's not my web browser distorting the email -- i've tried retrieving the email from Firefox, Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

That is very strange indeed...with only 2 possible causes I can think of.
1) Your email app (on your PC) is blocking the link that is included in the email...many email apps will do this and sometimes you must override them. If you have an alternate interface to use (e.g., GMail webmail interface versus Outlook), then try the other and see if that helps. Depending on the email environment (e.g., private corporate email system), it is also possible that some gateway along the path is stripping out the necessary link(s) as a security measure.
2) The reset email facility is actually broken, and the email does not contain what it is supposed to. If that is the case, then it requires formal attention from RIM. The only way to achieve that is for you to contact VZW and have them escalate your case into RIM.
Good luck!

Change reset email address?

Forgot my security question answers and my reset email is no longer valid. How do I change my reset email address?

You would need to go to https://appleid.apple.com to change the rescue email but to do so would require you to answer the security questions.
Since you have forgotten the security questions and are not able to change the rescue email then you need to contact AppleCare. Follow the link below to find the number in your country:

Don't get password reset email from Mozilla

I filled in the 'please reset my password' form 3 times and still do not see any password reset email. Over the weekend all my bookmarks disappeared and the solution apparently is to logon and perform a Sync reset. But I can't do that without my password. How can I get my new password link? I use gmail and my spam folder has no reset email. Is the Firefox password reset service working?

I forgot to mention for future finders of this error report. If you click on the 'Server Status' button that appears at the bottom of your FF screen (I'm running v15.01) you are taken to a web page showing there is supposedly nothing wrong with the Sync servers and a link to send in troubleshooting information. That link is[http:// http://blog.mozilla.org/jv/2011/10/03/help-mozilla-services-operations-debug-whats-wrong-with-sync/ http://blog.mozilla.org/jv/2011/10/03/help-mozilla-services-operations-debug-whats-wrong-with-sync/] and if you follow the procedure and send in the info it sounds like they are supposed to follow up with you debugging your Sync issue. So far the follow up has not occurred for me.

What is a password recovery email address

Hi,
I am looking at the info page on setting up clien email http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/setup-pop-imap-email-accounts.html in the Creat email accounts for users section, it says, "Enter the new user email address, name and password recovery email address." What is the password recovery email address? Also would the new user email address be the users name@my_domain_name.com? Thanks.
Barbara Parkman

Hi Barbara,
Keep in mind the Muse webBasic plans do not include email.
The password recovery email address is an email address that they could have their password emailed to in case they forget it. Obviously sending it to the same email address wouldn't work as they wouldn't be able to get it.
Yes, the email address would be @clientdomain.com ....
As a side note I recommend hosting the email with where ever they bought the domain from and only use Business CAtalyst for the site itself.
Here is why ...
