5. Create your new password.

We look forward to hearing back from you.

Thank you for the update Tyler.

I will wait for CS support to resolve the issue with my account. It is priority as this is an important personal email account for me. 

Just to set your expectations at the proper level, @jasantos, AT&T has been "working to resolve" this issue for two months.  If what they're saying about the cause is true and the whole story then this should have been a trivial matter to correct. 

@tonydi  I know you are right. It’s funny feeling confident that AT&T might ruin my life just like they did to others with the same issue. 

Thanks for allowing my voice to be heard

@jasantos Hi, we’re you ever able to get this resolved??  Did you have to speak to someone to fix it? 

i’ve found myself in this situation multiple times yet I can never remember how I got out of it…

I’m having that issue. I started digging into it and I saw a post from 11 months ago that said “Please keep in mind that we are unable to assist with manually resetting passwords at this time. We appreciate your patience as our engineers continue to look into the matter.” I’m losing hope.
