Old Account...

[DaniRost]

I have a friend who wants to get back into an old account. I didn't ask but I'm assuming it was a free account. She knows the account name and the email address she registered it with - but has long forgotten the passwords.

Is there anyway to recover this? And if so who should she contact? She speaks Spanish only... or has to use Google translate.

Thanks in advance.

We do have a bit of a language barrier.... I will try to explain this to her. So you think it will give a chance to change the email address? Thanks.

There doesn't seem to be a Spanish translation, but Google should be able to handle it for her.

even the normal login portal would guide you the way to go.. simply click "forgot your login information" and you get advice

If she does not have access to the email address of record, things get complicated. She must have a working email address on record with the Lab. They will ONLY send info to that address. Requests to send to any other address will be looked at as a possible attempt to steal the account.

IF it is no longer possible to access that email then contact the Lab and get the list of hoops to be jumped through to reclaim the account.

If the address is working and they have access, just do the forgot password process.

Thanks a lot. She has gotten to it yet. I'm trying to help her. I appreciate the input.
