Contact Customer Support

The first step is to contact Spotify customer support. They should be able to help you get your account reset without too much trouble.

However, you need to be accurate with the information you give them. For example, they will need to know your old email address and the new email address you would like to use.

It's essential to be accurate with the information you provide to Spotify customer support, as this can help reduce confusion, which may prolong the process. The same goes for your details such as name and address. It helps the company make sure that they are dealing with the account owner. Otherwise, anyone can claim to be the owner.

The customer support team will update your email address, and you will reset your Spotify account. Therefore, give the correct email address that you're using.

The email address update may take a few minutes or hours to process. Spotify customer support can give you a more accurate time frame. The customer support team will update your email address, and you will reset your Spotify account password.

Follow the instructions in the password reset email that comes to you. If you do not receive the password reset email, be sure to check your spam folder. If the email is not there, contact Spotify customer support for further assistance.

Check if You Have an Invitation

If you can't reset your account because the email address is no longer active, you may have received an invitation to join Spotify. This can happen if someone shares a playlist with you or sends you an album.

When you click on the link in the email, it will take you to a page where you can create a new Spotify account using the email address associated with the invitation. If you don't have an invitation, you'll need to contact customer support, as outlined earlier in this article.

Use a Different Email Address

If you don't want to contact customer support and are unsure if you have an invitation, then the next best thing to try is to use a different email address. It can be any email address, but it's often best to use one you're already using for another account such as Gmail or Yahoo.

When you sign up for Spotify using a different email address, you'll be asked if you want to link your accounts. You can do this by inputting the email address and password for the account you want to connect to. After you've linked your accounts, you'll be able to access Spotify with either email address.

What Happens If I Want To Reset My Password?

If you're having trouble resetting your Spotify account because you can't remember your old password, then you can try resetting your password. To do this, go to the Spotify website and click on the "Forgot your password?" link.

Enter the email address associated with your Spotify account, and you'll be sent a password reset link. Once you click on the link, you'll be able to choose a new password for your account.

With a new password, you should be able to log in to your Spotify account and reset it without any problems.
