Introduction

It can be frustrating when you try to access your Amazon Prime account and realize you can't because there's an issue with your login credentials. Recovering these credentials can help. The following information details the steps you can take to start the process through the Amazon website.

Go to the Amazon Website

Visit the Amazon website.

Locate the "Customer Service" Link

Scroll all the way down on the Amazon homepage until you find the "Customer Service" link. It's in white lettering against a dark background below the "Recalls and Product Safety Alerts" link.

Go to the Amazon Help Page

Click on the "Customer Service" link. Doing so will take you to the Amazon help page.

Locate the Search Box

Look for the search box on the Amazon help page. It's below the "Search Help" header and above the "Help" header.

Activate the Search Feature

Click on the search box to activate it. Doing so outlines the box in gray, causes the cursor to blink, and makes your phone's keyboard appear.

Enter Your Search Phrase

After clicking on the search box, type "Reset password" and press the search button on your phone's keyboard. This will show you a page of relevant search results.

Go to the "Reset Your Password" Page

Browse the search results. Look for the one that best applies to your situation. For example, since you want to reset your password, find the link that says "Reset Your Password." Below the link, it says, "If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it by going through our password assistance process on our website." Click on the link, which will take you to the "Reset Your Password" page.

Read the Page

Read the page about resetting your password.

Reset Your Password

While on the "Reset Your Password" page, find the yellow "Password assistance" button. Click on it to start the process of resetting your password. Please note you'll need either your phone number or email address that's associated with your Amazon account.

Log in to Your Amazon Account

Once you reset your password, attempt to log in to your Amazon account to make sure it worked.

Change Your Email Address

Once you're logged in to your Amazon account, you can change your email address to one that you want associated with your account. If you run into trouble either resetting your password or changing your email address, please continue reading.

Contact Amazon Customer Support

If you're having trouble with your Amazon account, don't hesitate to reach out to customer support. Explain what you've already tried doing to rectify the situation and ask the representative what you can do to either reset your password or change your email address.

Conclusion

Reach out promptly to Amazon customer support if you need help. A knowledgeable representative can guide you through the process of updating your account so you have easy access once again.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Amazon Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
