Unfortunately, people cannot always keep the necessary information in their heads. Moreover, in our modern age its flow is too large to constantly remember every little thing. Sometimes it happens that users simply forget their Skype password. That is why it is recommended not to rely entirely on yourself, but to write down the most important passwords and data in a notebook or save them somewhere on a computer. Of course, this is not safe, as someone else can find them and read them. But excessive caution in the end can lead to the fact that not only attackers will not be able to log in to your account, but you yourself will permanently lose access to it. If such a nuisance did occur, the question soon arises, how to recover the password on Skype.
Via email
What do we need for this? The easiest way to restore the password for a lost account is to fill out a request on the official website of the program. The only condition that is required to resolve the problem in this way is to remember your E-mail address. Of course, the one that you used when registering for Skype. Let's say we remember our email address. Then how to recover the password and will it be difficult to do?
The filling procedure itself is quite quick, it includes just a few simple steps. Firstly, the user needs to go to the official website page, which is used to recover the password. In any case, you will be asked to do this after mistakenly entered code. The only active line on this page is the field for entering an email address. There you need to write the required information.
After that, you just have to wait and periodically check your mail. Be careful, because often letters from Skype are mistaken for spam. Especially if the computer has strict protection. In this regard, it will be wise to check the folder with spam. If everything went well, then pretty soon a letter should arrive in the mail containing a unique link. Having passed through it, you will appear on the page where you can change the password.
Attention: this link is considered working only within the next six hours, it is better not to hesitate with the transition. Then, on the page that opens, it remains to enter your new password, duplicate it again and confirm your decision. All. Now when entering Skype you can safely enter a new password.
Alternative methods
Many users have registered not one mailbox, but several. In this case, not everyone will remember which address was entered when registering on Skype. The question arises, how to recover the password if the user even forgot E-mail. There is a solution here. If autofill is enabled on your computer, then you can still log in. Although you will not see your password. But in the "Personal Data" section you can see the E-mail that was used during registration. To do this, click the "Edit" button.
But not everyone uses autocomplete. And then the chances of the user to regain access to the account quickly melt away. Especially if he does not remember either the password or the email address. All that can be done in this case is to contact Skype support. This is a complex way that bears fruit only if you really fill out a lot of fields and send them all the required information.
In addition, the form itself, which will have to be completed, is written entirely in English. For those who do not know the language well, this factor can become a serious obstacle. The most important and necessary information by which they try to identify you are the numbers and dates of payments. You will also need to provide information about the credit card with which these payments were made, and the name of its owner.
If all of the above does not help, then, alas, there is no other way to recover the password. Skype, namely, your account, will have to be registered in the system again.
