Finding lost facebook page

It appears that the old account has been replaced by the new...When opening an account its not advisable to use the same email address even of the passwords differ. Unfortunately you will need to open a new account for both daughters using different email addresses. An option to is for Olivia to go to her email account, where facebook would have sent an application email throught to her and open the email..there will be an option for her there to view the email sent and this could possibly take her back to her old page asking her for her email and password, which she can enter.Hope this solution will help

I don't know which is my skype password and which is my skype address. I need to give my skype address to people who want to contact me. can you clear this up for me?

If you remember what email you used to sign up, then go to the site and press on forgot password to retrieve it. If not you'll have to make a new account. Sorry.

I forgot my skype passwod

Skype allows users to make free calls to computers anywhere in the world and make international phone calls on the cheap. To call, all users need is a working username and password. But nothing will disconnect your international calling plans faster than a forgotten Skype password. Without a working password, users cannot access Skype services. While Skype does not allow users to retrieve an old password, it allows users to reset their account passwords to remedy the problem.

1. Navigate to the Skype home page.

2. Click "Sign In."

3. Click the "Forgotten your password?" option under the Password box.

4. Type the email address you used to register with Skype into the box. Click "Get Password."

5. Check your email. Skype will send you an email with a link and a code to reset your password. Click the link in the email to access the password reset page.

6. Choose your Skype account from the list. Enter a new password. Confirm the new password by typing it again in the next box. Click "Change password and sign me in."

I hope you find it very helpful. Thank you for using fixya

My yahoo email has been compromised. I say this because I have had the same password for years and now it is saying t is wrong. Even the security questions are saying my answers are wrong and I am 100%...

I think you left your account unsigned out and some one accessed it. After which he/she changed your account settings or information (password and security question).

But remember that when you signed up (originally), you were asked to insert a back up e-mail address. Do you remember it? Go to it (in the account info or settings) if he/she never changed it, you will be able to access his/her new password entry. If you use it and it opens, please change immediately. You can then sign up for a new e-mail address and send all your mails there, then redirect all the e-mails to your old account to your new account. Don't use this old e-mail as your contact while opening up a new one.

However, if some one changed even your contact e-mail used during signing up, then you wont be able to again access the old account. Some one could have hacked into your account.

Not function password

If you haven't already try to get a new password using yahoos password recovery. Use this link- https://edit.yahoo.com/config/eval_forgot_pw?new=1&.done=http%3A//www.yahoo.com/&.src=fpctx&partner=&.intl=us&pkg=&stepid=&.pd=fpctx_ver%3d0%26c=&.ab=&.last= If you are unable to get a new password or retrieve your old one then call yahoo customer support. They may have closed down your account (this happened to me one time.) If this is the case then there is sadly nothing you can do. You will have to either make a new account or find another email provider. Here is Yahoo's contact info- Yahoo USA Corporate Office Headquarters HQ Address
701 First Avenue
Sunnyvale, CA 94089
Corporate Phone Number: 1-408-349-3300
Fax Number: 1-408-3493301
