I haven’t really got a comment to add to your blog post, except to say the impatience and cheek of some people *wkosin* is unbelievable! Commenting at 11.26am, then chasing up three minutes later, then again five minutes after that! It’s like he thinks you owe him something, Aral!

Hi everyone, I’ve gotten word from Skype that anyone needing help with their passwords will have to go through Skype support. Sorry! Unfortunately, I cannot help out with Skype password change requests.

I lost my password to my Skype account “wkosin”, now I can’t use the passwordreminder page because I didn’t set up any e-mail. but this account is mine. My e-mail address is wkosin[at]yahoo.com

Is your bunny totally reliable ?

Are there similar, more professionla devices ? I am looking for a remote annunciator to alert people of events happening on a website., like when someone uses a reply box like this, it adds a record to a MySQL table, and every minute, a cron based job activates the annunciator if there are any alerts. Make poeple not have to be a slave to emails, or SMS messages - a visual (or audio) thing .

Thank you for any sugestions you might have.

Me too! I wish Skype would change their password policy.

I had the same thing happen to me with Hotmail as well.

Lucky of yours that has a friend in there, you have to meet me with him to help in an old account too of skype, because I’ve lost the pass and could create a new one.
