accessing email when subscription ends

oakfield — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:06:56 GMT

I currently have a btconnect.com email address. It was set up for me years ago, when my father had internet provided by BT.

I have been using it for years for both work and personal emails.

I am just setting up a new computer and am having trouble with the password for my email account. It doesn't appear to be what i thought it was!

I have tried to reset it and it has sent info for this to my fathers email address (he was the administrator) but i have just found out he no longer has a BT subscription.

He has given me his email address and password, but we can't access his account to reset my password!

Is there any way around this?

Thanks.

As long as the email addresses have been actively used - logging in to webmail and/or the self-care pages - then there's no reason you shouldn't be able to log in to the self-care pages to reset the password. What happens if you try the forgotten password journey on the administrator account?
