How to Reset your Email Password using myAT&T

 

You are here because you can't sign in to your email or you forgot one of your many passwords. Resetting your password is one of the fastest solutions. Let's get started!

How To Change Your Password

Go to www.att.com or use the myAT&T app:

  1. Login to the myAT&T app, scroll, and select "My plans & features"

  2. Hit the "plus" button next to your service and select "Manage my network & email"

  3. Select "Change Email Password" 

Note: If you are still unable to log in after resetting your password, wait 12 hours for the system to update and try again.

Security Questions Help & Free Accounts

If you recently attempted to reset your password, you can use your account at www.att.com to reset it. Please note:

  • The email must be tied to an active account for a password reset to work
  • Free emails do not have the option to reset via an att.com unless there is an account tied to it

Free Email 

A free email is a standalone email account that once was tied to an AT&T account. Once that account is canceled, AT&T no longer has the ability to reset your password. In order to reset your password, you must use your security questions to reset it

If you do not remember your security questions/ answers. AT&T WILL NOT reset your account. This is done to protect personal information since we cannot validate the email address. It is like giving away the keys to your car without verifying it is belongs to you.  AT&T currently has no workaround for these types of issues and is unable to assist.

Can not log in to my sbcglobal.net email.  Got logged out somehow and now when I try to log in it takes me to the reset my password site.  Never lets me log in even after changing the password.  I have alot of things tied to that account that I can't lose.  What can I do?

I have experienced a very frustrating issue with bellsouth.net (ATT.net) email logon. Years go by and I never touch my account settings; recently twice in the previous two months I received the following message:


Task 'xxxxxx@bellsouth.net - Sending' reported error (0x800CCC92) : 'Your e-mail server rejected your login. Verify your user name and password for this account in Account Settings.

 

There is clearly an issue and the only resolution should not be resetting your email password!

I was told the password was changed but I did not change it.  So I go in and say I forgot my password.  It takes me to a screen that says "hold on. We are almost there ".  But it stays there forever and nothing happens.  I just want to change the password and retrieve my mail.
