Home / Repairs / Email and password lockouts

Locked out of email or an account

Locked out of an email account, a social account or your own PC login. Recovery is usually straightforward once the right recovery address or backup codes are found.

Signs that point to this

  • The password is refused, even the one written down
  • A code is being sent to a phone number you no longer have
  • The account says it has been locked for security reasons
  • A two step code goes to an old phone
  • You cannot get past your own Windows login screen

What the visit covers

  • The account recovered through the official route, never through a paid unlock service
  • Two step verification set up properly so it does not happen again
  • Your important passwords moved somewhere safer than a notebook
  • A check that nothing was changed while you were locked out
