I just had the same problem! I nearly died as I tried my password over and over again, even here on the forums. I was certain my account had been hacked. Thankfully, resetting the password worked. My heart is still racing.

Alright, so I try to log into SL Today, As Brendan Meili, and my password won't go through, I ended up having to reset it.. Is there an alert for accounts being hacked?



Same thing is happening to me right now.

Someone tell me how to reset it?
06-04-2007 19:49
The only web page I see it to change it if you know it. And SL says it doesn't recognized the password I know. I don't see any kind of "lost password" or "reset password" anywhere!

I solved the problem by going to secondlife.com, logged out
and used the Forgot Password feature.

Got the reply email with the link to reset the password.

Now I can log in.

But there's something weird about this.

Good to hear that "they're" on it. (Thanks Heretic for posting.)

Password Failure
06-04-2007 20:21
My main account Elwood Abernathy is locked out of second life because I cannot reset my password, I tried on the reset password page and am told I answered the questions wrong. My main account is premium and my tier is two mainland sims, and now I can't get support until tomorrow because your support lines are not active at night.

Desmond's solution (also described above):

http://forums.secondcitizen.com/showthread.php?t=13889

Reset your password using 'forgot password' if you can't get in.
My account password wasn't working, and I just checked on SL official forums (you know, the ones you need SIGN IN to read!) and it turns out there is a Company problem with logging in that resetting your password seems to fix.

Resetting the password worked for me - I saw a post by Heretic Linden saying they were working on the problem, so it may just go away by itself.

A very relieved Desmond who had been shut out for 15 minutes...

Concierge Line
06-04-2007 20:29
If I can find the number I can call the concierge line, but I am locked out of the website as well, and I do not have access to the number.
I pay $390.00 per month land use fees, and I do not have access to the number.

Concierge Level

If I had access to the concierge number I could call now, but I am locked out of the website as well on my main account, I pay $390.00 a month land use fees for my main account and have access to nothing.

concierge level password
06-04-2007 20:52
elwood abernathy, my main concierge account, is locked out of the software log-in, the web site log-in and the password reset site. I am locked out of everything. I could contact concierge level support if I had access to the phone number starting at 1 A.M.

Does that mean you need someone to send you the concierge number? I don't know it, but can someone else give it to him (if that's what's needed)?

Also, you don't have to answer all the questions - just one.

Questions are security Q, complete the names of 3 friends (surnames listed), last amount billed, OR home location.

Just one is needed.

Related but different, anybody else notice the transaction history on the right-side of the password change webpage?

It was totally wrong for me - lots of casino stuff that I never did. My account balance looks about right, though, as does the regular transaction history page.

I just went through it and she's correct.
