Unable to reset password on sub accounts

I'm struggling to change the password on a couple of sub accounts that my family has forgotten, unfortunately when I use the password resetter it seems to get confused. I checked to make sure the security info on my primary email address was correct.
The password resetter seems to point me to the helpdesk but this only gives me more options that then send me back to the resetter.
I rang the helpdesk but unfortunately after half an hour of messing around, the guy was difficult to understand, and when I asked him to email me the reset password on the first account he apparently was not able to email me. It seems that customer service do not have email facilities.
Whilst I'm not overly bothered about the sub accounts I do have some that are important to me and not being able to easily change the password on them seems to me to be a major failing.
I realise that this is not BT and the connection with yahoo is loose to say the least it does seem a shame that what should be a very simple task is being made very hard by a combination of language issues and technology not working correctly.
I have tried the step by step but it just pointed me at teh same failing resetter function
If anyone in the BT care team can help it would be very much appreciated.
Alan

Sadly I mentioned the difficulty on that number right in the first message, I spent 30 minutes, they really didn;t know what they were doing and I had to give up. The conversation was very difficult as I could barely understand what was being said half the time. I asked the CSO to email the reset password to my primary email but this was not possible apparently they are fixing email but don;t have any access to email !
I'll wait and see if anyone else has a solution before I call them again, perhaps a custoner care person may be watchin gand take pity on me otherwise i'll just email Ian livingstone and see what he's got to say ;-)
thanks for trying though,
Alan

    Hello Aditi,
    In AS Java 7.1 and higher you go to short link /nwa and navigate
    to Configuration -> Infrastructure -> Java System Properties – Switch to
    application tab in second section (Details about <InstanceName>) ->
    search for tc~idm~jmx~app.
    For 7.0 you have to do that in Visual Admin but I would need to read docu to know where it is too.
    But you can find that all in UI installation guide http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700001233082010E

  • Retrieve or change password for sub account

    I need to retrieve or change the password for a sub account (my wife) Her computer died and am setting up her email on a new computer.

    If you know the password to the sub, you can log into it and change the password the same way as you would change the password for the primary.
    If you do not know the current password, you can try the forgot password link. Apparently this link is not the same accross all pages, and some of the links don't play well with sub accounts. Go to http://webmail.verizon.net and use the Forgot Your Password? link from there. You will have to answer the secret question for this method.
    If you cannot remember the secret answer, you can call Tech Support and have them reset it for you. They will reset it to a random string of numbers and letters, which you can then reset to a personal password through the customer portal. Contrary to what Catemaco stated above, tech support does not have to set your permanent sub account password. Reset passwords are intended to be temporary measures.
    If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.

  • Unable to put password in mail accounts

    I am unable to put the password in my mail accounts. It was working a couple of days ago but now does not have a password and as such cannot get mail.

    You might actually try just making a new folder, and dragging the emails into it (in Mail's sidebar).
    There is another way around this. In Mail's "File" window, select "import Mailboxes". Navigate to ~/Library/Mail folder, and select the accounts you want to import. Do this for each one (the folder to select will start with IMAP or POP). Then, Mail puts these in an "Import" folder on the sidebar in Mail. Now, disable the accounts.

  • Resetting passwords and multiple accounts

    Back in June I was experiencing an issue logging onto my account and it said that my name or password was wrong.  Same happened with someone else I knew.
    I followed the instructions and verified who I was, then I had to change my password (even though I entered it correctly) then I had to do it again... reset my password.  Now I can log on, everything is fine.I did the same for another friend. (Skype is up to date for both of us) Recently I'm going through my contacts and I see myself as a contact as my email and says it is a messenger.  I don't like this, how do I remove this?  (aside from removing contacts, I just don't want a double account) Now my friend is having issues again signing in so I tried and I was able to sign in but I was removed as a contact?  I saw a pending request from myself supposedly and I added it, but it was the messenger account. Now I see multiple accounts of my friend, we can only log onto one of them.  The only one that has my main account (not the messenger) is the one we thought we reset the password on but it asks to verify over and over. Did we do something wrong with our accounts or is this a glitch?
    How do we fix it?
    Anyone else having these issues?

    suggestion to try: go to control panel, create a blank mail profile - in the profile, add the exchange 2013 / 2010 as the primary accounts manually - before adding the 2003 accounts.
    remember that it will ask for credentials several times, as it connects to the exchange 2013 / 2010.. i get the explenation once, but dont remmebr it.

  • Unable to reset password?

    I have an account I haven't used in a while (like 7 or 8 years ago, definitely before eBay acquired Skype) and I can't remember the password. No big deal, just reset the password right? Wrong. Every single password token I get says it's an invalid password token. I have to use a second account just to post this because I can't post anything without logging in. 

    Accounts that have not been used for more than 6 months could be tagged as inactive by Skype.  For that, you may need to contact customer service first to know what your possible options are;

  • Unable to reset password nor to get my old ID back

    Hey there,
    I have been trying to set-up a skype account with a certain logon id, but it seems that the Microsoft account and Skype messed out everything.
    Now I end out with 2 emails that appear as they own an account but I can't reset the passwords because the password reset token isn't valid.
    Please help me out, I just want to have the initial logon ID and now I thing that there are 3-4 similar and they are all stucked :S

    Actually, I do not fully understood the issue based on the information you provided in your initial post so I need to make sure that we are now working on the correct account.  
    so next, request for a new password reset link again (be sure to use it within 6 hours upon receiving it or it will expire). Then try using another web browser to open that link if it still doen't work in the usual/default browser you are using. You can also try using another computer or device if such is available.
    If the same or similar problem exist, then you may need to get in touch with customer service for further assistance. They may require you to verify some details before they can proceed in assisting you in resetting your password/regain access to your account;

  • Unable to reset password for AppleID associated with iCloud

    For the last week or so I haven't been able to access my iCloud on my iPhone, because it keeps saying that the password for my AppleID is incorrect.  I've tried resetting the password on several occasions, but I can only reset the password for the ID associated with my iTunes.  I can't reset through email because the email never shows up, not even in my spam folders.  And I can't reset through security questions because when I enter in my birthdate the page says that the information is incorrect.

  • Unable to Reset Password on UC520 General Delivery Mailbox Type

    Hi, I am hoping you guys can help me with this. I have a new customer that has an older UC520. They have around 30 voicemail boxes setup, and a few "General Delivery" Mailboxes.
    On one of the general delivery mailboxes(Their most important one) the end users have seems to lost the login password. I looked at the system via the CUE and i could see all of the personal mailboxes and the general mailboxes. I saw where you can change the password for the personal mainboxes, but no the general mailboxes.
    Is their another way to change the password for a general mailbox on a uc520?
    Thanks
    Michael Peterman

    Hi Michael,
    General Delivery mailboxes are usually accessed via a user's personal
    mailbox (Press 9) if they have been designated as members on
    the GDM config
    If that doesn't work, you might want to post this up in the UC500
    sub-forum. Lots of great peeps there who can help you out.

  • Unable to reset passwords of other users

    I feel I am one of the lucky ones that was able to get Leopard installed and still logon with my original password. All was fine until my wife attempted to logon and her password was rejected. From my logon (as admin) I went in and reset her password (she also has admin rights), but it is still rejected. The password reset appears to take as the hint question was changed for the new one, but regardless all attempts are rejected. My previous OS was Panther. Any clues here?
    Thanks,
    Curt

    You should be able to reset all passwords if you restart from the install disk and use utilities. Might as well repair permissions while you are there also.

  • Sub accounts not working, all 5 of them

    last week, i migrated my parent(main) account from yahoo to native verizon (after a spoof message from my account caused the need to change my password).  since then, i have been unable to log into any sub accounts.  each time i try to log into a sub account, it tosses me to a pin and then when pin is entered, it tosses me back to the parent account whose password, i do not want to change. I even went so far as to go into myverizon and delete one subaccount completely. when tried to add it back in using the same email address/username, it won't allow, saying that it's already taken.  in the meantime, i found that i could receive messages on the sub accounts using my iphone with the inbound setting to the verizon port but can only send messages from these accounts using the old yahoo port.  so, it seems that there is a massive communication error between yahoo and verizon and it appears that this is a years long contiuing issue from reading these message boards.  i believe that someone at verizon needs to take ownership of this and fix it before verizon ends up being hacked through an open yahoo back door. oh, i should mentio that i tried the support chat, which led to a phone call and no solution!
