If you are using the AOL software, the names listed on the Sign On window are all the screen names on your AOL account. The names cannot be removed from the list unless you actually delete the names from your AOL account. If you would like to keep the names on your AOL account, then the names will have to stay on the Sign On window.

Aol will not help with new password

To access your AOL account, you need to enter some information.
First, you need to enter your AOL user name or email account.
Next, you need to enter the AOL password that you entered when you first created your account. Once these two pieces of information are entered, you can sign in to your account.
However, if you have forgotten or lost your AOL password, you won't be able to access your account until you successfully reset your password.

Navigate to http://bill.aol.com/ and notice the "Sign In" window to the right of the screen.
Find the "Forgot Password" link under the "Password" field. Click the link.
Type your email address or AOL user name into the "User name or Email" field.
You'll also need to type the letters or numbers you see in the image into the "Word in Image" field.
Click "Next."
Type the correct answer to your security question in the "Your Answer" field.
Click "Next."
Provide the information for the "Billing Contact Name," including first and last name.
This is the primary account holder for your AOL account. Click "Next."
Answer the AOL security questions, which will ask for the last four digits of your Social Security number.
Click "Next." At this point, your identity will be verified.
Type in a new password on the next screen.
You'll need to retype the password to confirm.
Click "Next" and then click "Continue."
At this point, you will be able to sign in to your account using the new password you created.

Change to larger font on aol e-mail

AOL Mail is an email service provided to the customers of American Online as well as Web users.

When you print an email using AOL Mail software, you may notice that the font size either appears too small or too large.


AOL Mail gives you the flexibility to adjust the font size and thus, the size of the print.

Note that these instructions apply to AOL 9.0 or higher.


If you have an old edition, follow instructions from the link specified under Resources.

Launch your AOL Mail software from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.


Log in using your AOL screen name and password.


Click "Settings" on the top bar.


Click "Font and Text."


Click the font type drop-down menu to choose either a larger or smaller font type than the current one.


Click the font size drop-down menu to choose either a larger or smaller font size based on your preference.


Click "Save."

Hope this helps

I forget my skyp id & password..now i want to use but cnt sign in...can you help me to solve my matter...thanks...

Welcome to FixYa! Based on your question, here a few options we could use.
If you do not remember your Id and Password:
  • If you have a friend who is also using Skype, asked them to enter your email address in the "find a user" window.
  • Also, when your sign in window comes up, your screen name/ID should have been stored in the drop down menu right under the Skype Name window then you could just click the forgot the password link. Unless you have changed your pc recently.
  • If none of this works, you'll really have to create a new account then.
Hope this helps! Thank you for using FixYa! Have a nice day!
