Skype: Catch 22 and no support!

northantsandy

The domain from which I had an email account with when I registered my Skype account with expired and was snaffled by a bot.

I set Skype to autologon the first time I installed it so have no idea what my password is.

To cut a long story short, I had to rebuild my pc with another hard drive and cannot get hold of Skyps support - you try and email them and without fail they say we haven't sent your email, these FAQ's may help but they don't!!!

I have lost my email address and my password and cannot get one without the other.....any ideas as they don't have any real ppl working there?

Would it not be easier to register a new account with them (if that's possible) under a new email?

Assuming you haven't bought a load of credit for skypeout, just get a new account and make your password easy (for you) to remember this time.

I have tonnes of contacts and I don't know their usernames off-hand and I have got Skype-out

not a techie but have you tried downloading skype and then seeing if one of your contacts can hail you as your username's still registered? wondered if it might reset itself???? (excuse me if this is impossible, just a thought)
have you tried asking on the skype forums?
