What can I do if I forgot my ICQ password?

We can not simply imagine our life without communication. And if it is not always possible to meet friends with time or distance, as 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 telephones, installing on them programs for the exchange of messages. This can be a mail agent, ICQ and so on. Such programs allow you to communicate with friends in real time, sitting at the lesson, working or simply waiting for your turn at the bank or in the store. And now imagine that one day all your friends disappeared. That is, you can no longer go to ICQ and contact them, because you forgot the ICQ password. In fact, this situation is not so tragic as it might seem at first glance. Consider how you can restore your account access to ICQ

Password recovery

Step 1. Go to the official website

If you forgot your ICQ password, do not despair. Its not so difficult to recover. It is enough to remember the password from the mail you indicated during registration. Although the password from the mail can also be restored. But we'll deal with ICQ. First, we open the program itself. Since we can not enter the password, we click on the link "Forgot your password?". Now before us is the page of the official site, which allows you to set a new password instead of the forgotten combination.

Step 2. Enter the UIN

On the page in the top field you are asked to enter the phone number, UIN from ICQ or the mail you indicated when registering the account. It is to be hoped that you still have access to the mail, and you have not forgotten the password from the electronic mailbox, just like forgot the password in ICQ. Then you will not have problems. Enter the IUN, then enter the numbers to prove that we are not a robot. Now click on "Next".

Step 3. Open the letter on the box, which you specified during registration

After all actions the page with the notice that on the specified mail the letter with instructions for restoration of the password is sent opens. For convenience, if there is no certainty about which account the account was registered with, the system displays the first few characters from the mail name. Delivery of the letter may take several minutes, so if the e-mail does not come immediately, just wait.

Step 4. Click on the link

Now open the specified mail and open in it the necessary letter "Restoring the ICQ password". As you can see, if you forgot the ICQ password, it can be restored. In the letter you will be asked to click on the link. It should be noted that there is no need to postpone the restoration of the combination, since the link will work very shortly. If you do not have time to use it, you will have to do everything from the very beginning.

Step 5. Enter a new password

So, click on the link and again get to the official ICQ site, 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 complex the combination, the more difficult it will be to hack it, so it's best to use an arbitrary set of numbers and letters. On the other hand, you must remember the password. To reinsure and do not recover the password again, it's best to write it down. Enter the password twice and click on "Done".

Step 6. We 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 a new password. Now you know what to do if you forgot the ICQ password. Click on "Start ICQ". If the program you do not have or is an outdated version, then you can download it right away. In the window that appears, click on the "Ok" button so that you do not have to enter the password again.

If ICQ is not opened, then go to the program and dial a new combination. Again forgot the ICQ password? 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.
