Reset Password on Sub-Account

markiwright@verizon.net

Is there a way to reset a sub-account password from the primary account?

Account is currently locked.

Or is only way to change it is to call verizon, get temp password and then change from within the sub-account.

Thanks,

Mark

My response from a previous thread (which I found easily with the SEARCH feature):

You change a forgotten password for a sub account the same way you do for the primary account. There's a "Forgot Password" link that will reset it for you once you answer the Secret Question, or you can contact Technical Support and they can reset it for you. There are several options for getting in touch with someone in Tech Support on the Contact Us page.

As for your actual question, the answer is no. You cannot reset a sub's password from the primary account, but calling tech support is not the only way to reset it.

I know what it says but this does not work for some users. Only way is to call Verizon. It will not find sub-account when you try to login and change password. whether you search by phone #, username etc. I also tried enabling admin access on the sub account thinking that was necessary but no dice.

Call Verizon support until they get this working for everyone

OK, you guys must be seeing something different than I am.

I go to: http://webmail.verizon.net/signin/ and click on: Forgot Your Password?
This brings me to a prompt: "Please tell us what you forgot." I select Password and click the Continue button.
Next page says "So that we may access your account, enter your Verizon Online User Name and select the Continue button." - I enter the username for my sub and click Continue.
I am then prompted to answer my Secret Question and set a new password.

Does this somehow work differently for everyone else?

I have tried this several different ways. I tried through Yahoo and Verizon. When I tried with Verizon I have a temp code sent. After I entered it, it was for my "main" account, not the sub-account.

This is totally frustrating. I have people getting random emails (spam).

THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!

No it does not work -- every time it resets the primary account password, not the subaccount password.
