Forgot Myspace Password

Category: Myspace , Social Networking

"Help, I forgot the password for my Myspace account! Now I can't login and people think I'm dissing them because I can't reply to their comments. How do I get the password, or have it reset so I can login?"

** NEWS FLASH! ** I do not have your password... I cannot get your password... But if you lost your Myspace password, you can get it back if you read and follow the instructions in the article below...

Lost Your Myspace Password?

If you have lost or forgotten the password to your Myspace account, you can send a password retrieval request to Myspace. Just enter the email address associated with the account, and Myspace will send your password to that address.

"Thank you so much. I didn't have my password for the longest time, I did this and it worked! I couldn't believe it. Thanks again." -- Evan

But what if you forgot the email address too?

Salute This!

If you don't have the account password or access to the email address associated with the account, there IS another way to prove that you are the rightful owner of the account. A salute is a photo of yourself holding a handwritten sign with the word "MySpace.com" and your FriendID on it. You can find your Friend ID number after "friendID=" in the web address when viewing your profile.

After taking the salute photo, you will need to upload that photo to the Web. You cannot post your salute in a public place, so if you don't have your own website, I recommend that you open a free account at Geocities and upload it there.

Next, contact Myspace via this form, provide the web address (URL) of the Salute photo, and the web address of the Myspace profile you cannot access. Explain the situation, cross your fingers and howl at the full moon. With a bit of luck your Myspace password will be sent to your email inbox.

If you read the comments below, you'll see that this process DOES WORK for some people. If you don't get a reply after several days, send your salute again... and keep trying!

I forgot my password, but I do know my email I signed up with. When I request for my password to be sent to my email, it never does. I sent a salute a month ago but haven't heard anything.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Persistence seems to be the key...

I can get into Myspace accounts. I require either a Name, Friend ID, E-mail address, or link to the profile in order to get the password. For rates and information, contact me at [deleted]@yahoo.com.

EDITOR'S NOTE: I published this entry (after obscuring the email address) because it exposes a scam. Don't believe people who claim to be able to get your password. They will take your money and disappear.

Hey, I've just read and reread your article. I was wondering if there's some other way to retrieve my password. Do you know if any other ways? I am asking because I've been trying to retrieve my password for a year now. My account was hacked into and the hacker changed my password so I cannot access my own profile. I've sent well over 100 requests for password retrieval and even tried saluting 2 or 3 times. Each time I try the email never shows up despite my using my sign up email (I only have one email address and know my email password by heart) and they keep saying the salute isn't clear enough despite it being perfectly clear (I have trouble seeing and even I can see the picture, names, addresses and numbers crystal clear). I'm genuinely frustrated! I don't mind switching to facebook and abandoning the myspace account but it has a lot of old unique photos that mean a lot to me, I just want to retrieve my photos. Can you be of any assistance or am I beating a dead horse?

EDITOR'S NOTE: If I knew another way, I would mention it here! The Myspace password retrieval process has always been flawed, and I don't see that changing.
