Can't Log in to Flickr

Not a single thing works. Password which was saved no longer works. They have emailed me a code, but it still can't recover my account. How can I just get the damn password reset so I can login and set everything up again? None of their fancy security options work!

Sorry. Can't help. All seems OK here.

Finally! Managed to get in and change password - I have literally been trying to do this for several hours! What a ballache!

ETA: Make sure you check your account settings - mine had an old phone number on there as well as the current one, and they kept defaulting to it. I got lucky on my phone that when I said I couldn't receive a message at that phone, they asked about the other (current) phone, I was not given that luxury on the desktop!

Mine worked ok even though I rarely go there. It has been a bit of a 'mare in the past though, requiring changes of passwords and what have you. I suspect as the company is passed around the various corporations.

I started an account with my real name many years ago and forgot details - then couldn't make another with real name as it was taken.
They were surprisingly helpful and spent almost an hour exchanging emails to get it sorted.
