Step 1: Clear Out the Old Password

Think of this like clearing out an old key from a keychain so you can add the new one.

• Open AIM.
• Click the menu button (☰ in the top-right corner).
• Choose Settings.
• From the left menu, click Privacy & Security.
• Scroll down to the Passwords section.
• Click Saved Passwords.
• Find your email account in the list.
• Select it and hit Remove.

That’s it! The old password is gone, and AIM is ready for the new one.

Step 2: Enter the New Password

Now, restart AIM. When you try to send or receive mail:

• AIM will ask for your password.
• Enter your new email password (the same one you use with your email provider).
• Tick the box that says "Use Password Manager to remember this password" if you want AIM to save it.
• Click OK.

Boom—you should now be connected.

Step 3: If You Totally Forgot Your Password

If you don’t remember your email password at all, no worries—you’ll need to reset it directly with your provider first:

• Gmail → Google Account Recovery
• AIM / AIM → Microsoft Account Recovery
• AIM Mail → AIM Recovery Page
• Custom domain email → Check with your hosting provider or IT admin.

Once you’ve got a fresh password, just repeat Step 1 and Step 2 above.

• Make sure your internet is connected before testing the new password.
• If you use two-factor authentication (2FA), your provider might need you to create an app-specific password for AIM.
• If AIM still won’t play nice, double-check your account’s server settings under:
• Account Settings → Server Settings (incoming mail)
• Outgoing Server (SMTP) (outgoing mail)

Now, take a deep breath—you’re back in business and ready to manage your emails stress-free.

• In short: Go to Saved Passwords, remove the old one, restart AIM, and type in your new password. Done!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Resetting AIM Passwords

1. Can I reset my AIM password directly inside AIM?

Not exactly. AIM doesn’t create or control your actual email password—that’s managed by your email provider (like Gmail, AIM, AIM, etc.). What you can do is remove the old password stored in AIM and enter the new one.

2. What if I don’t remember my email password at all?

If you’ve forgotten your email password completely, you’ll need to reset it with your provider first. For example, Gmail users go to Google Account Recovery, AIM users go to Microsoft’s reset page, and so on. After resetting, update it in AIM.

3. AIM keeps asking for my password even though it’s correct—why?

This usually happens if:

• The saved password in AIM is outdated.
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) is enabled, and you need an app-specific password.
• Your incoming/outgoing mail server settings aren’t correct.

4. How do I check my server settings in AIM?

Go to:

• Menu → Account Settings → Server Settings (for incoming mail).
• Menu → Account Settings → Outgoing Server (SMTP) (for outgoing mail).

Compare these with your provider’s official settings.

5. Do I need to reset my password often?

Not unless your provider requires it, or you think your account might have been compromised. It’s good practice, though, to update your email password every few months for better security.

6. Will resetting my password delete my emails in AIM?

No—resetting or updating your password in AIM does not delete your emails. Your messages are safe and will remain in your inbox.

7. Do I need an internet connection to reset my password in AIM?

Yes. While you can remove the old password offline, AIM will need internet access to verify and save your new password.
