Quite often, situations arise when the ICQ password is lost or forgotten. As a rule, in the event of such a situation, the user performs a new registration. This is due to the fact that not everyone knows about the possibility of recovering credentials.
If the circumstances are such that it is impossible to remember the login information, but the user still has access to the mailbox, which was linked during registration, then there is no need to rush to register again. In such cases, you will have to go through a small and very simple procedure for recovering your password, and you can again enjoy chatting with friends and family.
However, the lack of registration e-mail or control over it can really become a serious obstacle, and then it will be impossible to recover the password for ICQ. This can happen if:
- the mailbox has been hacked and it is impossible to regain control over it;
- lost or forgotten data from e-mail (login, security key, answer to a secret question);
- the registration box has been deleted since it has not been used for a long time.
In such situations, the only way out is to register again. In all other cases, you can easily recover your ICQ password. To do this, start ICQ and, where you need to enter your data, click the "forgot password" button. As a result, the user will be moved to the password recovery page located on the official website. In order to regain control, you must enter your uin number or email address in one of the two fields on the site, and in the second - register captcha, confirming that the procedure is performed by a person, not a robot.
If there were no errors during the entry, a new window will appear, where the user will be informed that the first step has been completed successfully, and to continue, you need to check your mailbox, to which an email was sent containing a link for further actions. To recover your ICQ password, you need to open your e-mail, find the letter from the icq command and click on the specified link.
Clicking on the link will open a tab in the browser, where the user will be prompted to enter a new password from ICQ, which will now act in the system. When choosing a new password option, please note that it cannot consist of only one digit. Having generated the alphanumeric combination, it should be entered twice, confirmed and stored in a safe place so as not to forget and not lose it in the future. This procedure will be completed, and you can go to ICQ using a new security key.
When making the first entry, it will be useful to check the box in the "remember" field so as not to re-enter the credentials each time. This, of course, is only suitable for a home computer.
Thus, knowing how to recover your ICQ password, you donβt have to worry about the safety of your account, contact list, etc. By the same principle, accounts are restored in many other applications, which makes the knowledge gained quite universal and widely applicable.
