Hi there. For some time I had been sending emails (without my knowledge) to people in my address book. Didn't pay much attention but now the password that I always had has been changed and as the email account is 13 years old, I can't remember the identification questions.

Can anyone please help in a way to gettin my email account back or point me in the right direction to anyone that can do it for me. Can provide i.d. or anything required for proof of email and am willing to pay if need be.

Thanks in advance.

Was it an email account provided by your Internet Service Provider or was it web-based?

i.e. [email protected], for example ... or [email protected]

Hi - yeah thanks - I have tried that - it was thirteen years ago and its my favourite pets name - I used to be quite fickle and can't rememebr which was my favourite pet and it would have been in upper and lower case in some form - it gives me three tries then asks for me to enter the figures on the screen - I can't see any hope of getting it like this. I know there are people out there that can do it - just a question of being pointed in the right direction and havinf to bite the bullet and pay for the service I think - so any help in the pointing would be appreciated.
Thanks
