AOL mail error?

Options
Checked my AOL mail earlier on my iphone, worked perfectly like always. Went to check them just now on the computer and it said that the password i entered was incorrect (even though its saved in my keychain on my mac).
So i tried to check again on my iphone and i got the same message.
I know that the password i was using was the correct one as that has been my main email account and password for the last 8 years.

Is anyone else having any troubles?

Iv also tried to reset my password but it was now blocked me for 24 hours because its saying im typing in the Q+A but im not!

Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

    1I have problems with AOL and passwords too. When I go for my mail I have to delete
    the ******** from the password box as I know it is one digit to long and then I type in my correct password.

    Above the email section there is a sentence "would you like to change your password?".
    I said yes and then they said the p/w you have chosen is the same as your old one.
    :rotfl: You should be laughing by now. AOL is such a weird company!.

    I can only suggest that you send them an email. You might get a sensible answer. It's worth a try. You have prompted me to have another go at them.

    I have used the same email address and password for about 8 years now and its really starting to annoy me because i cant even reset it now! i use that email account for everything from University to itunes, and also for business.

    I have also just had business cards with that email address on it printed for a university project!

    I have sent them an email now, hopefully will get a response soon!

    Ok so now i have a new problem.

    Last week my AOL password some how managed to change itself and after 30 hours of agro i managed to get my account back, however since then i havent received a single email and whenever people try to send me one they gets an error message saying that the person you are trying to email is not currently accepting emails.

    I have tried to contact aol but i am now unable to find a Contact page for people who arent aol broadband subscribers. Help please!!
