We simply cannot imagine our life without communication. And if meeting friends does not always allow time or distance, because many friends live in another city or even in another country, then you can almost always chat on the Internet. We do not part with our computers and phones by installing messaging programs on them. It can be a mail agent, ICQ, and so on. Such programs allow you to chat with friends in real time, sitting at a lesson, working or just waiting in line at a bank or store. Now imagine that one day all your friends have disappeared. That is, you can no longer go to ICQ and contact them because you forgot your ICQ password. In fact, this situation is not at all as tragic as it might seem at first glance. Let's consider how you can restore your access to your account in ICQ
Password recovery
Step 1. Go to the official website
If you forgot your ICQ password, do not despair. It is not so difficult to restore. It is enough to remember the password from the mail that you specified during registration. Although the mail password can also be restored. But we will deal with ICQ. To begin, open the program itself. Since we cannot enter the password, we click on the link "Forgot your password?". Now we have the official website page, which allows you to set a new password instead of a forgotten combination.
Step 2. Enter the UIN
On the page in the upper field they ask you to enter the phone number, UIN from ICQ or the mail that you specified when registering the account. It is hoped that you still have access to the mail, and you did not forget the password from the email in the same way as you forgot the password in ICQ. Then you will have no problems. We enter IUN, then we enter numbers to prove that we are not a robot. Now click on "Next."
Step 3. Open the letter on the box that was indicated during registration
After all the actions, a page opens with a notification that an email has been sent to the specified mail with instructions for resetting the password. For convenience, if you are not sure which account the account was registered to, the system displays the first few characters on behalf of the mail. Mail delivery may take several minutes, so if the e-mail has not arrived immediately, just wait.
Step 4. Follow the link
Now open the specified mail and open the necessary letter "ICQ Password Recovery" in it. As you can see, if you forgot the ICQ password, it can be completely restored. In the letter you will be asked to follow the link. It should be noted that it is not necessary to postpone the restoration of the combination, since the link will work for a very short time. If you don’t have time to use it, you will have to do everything from the very beginning.
Step 5. Enter a new password
So, we follow the link and again we get to the official website of ICQ, where we are asked to enter a new combination twice. The password must be at least eight characters long and consist of numbers and Latin letters. The more complicated the combination, the more difficult it will be to crack, so it’s best to use an arbitrary set of numbers and letters. On the other hand, you must remember the password. To be safe and not to recover the password again, it is best to write it down. Enter the password two times and click on "Finish".
Step 6. Go to ICQ
On the new page, we see that the password change was successful and that we can log into the ICQ client using the new password. Now you know what to do if you forgot your ICQ password. Click on "Run ICQ." If you don’t have a program or an outdated version, then you can download it right away. In the window that appears, click on the “OK” button so that there is no need to enter the password again.
If ICQ did not open, then go to the program and type in a new combination. Forgot your ICQ password again? Then just go back to the beginning of the article and restore it again. Now it will take much less time, because you have already become more experienced.
