Frequently Asked Questions​ (FAQ's)

Can you reset my password for me?

No. For your security, we do not log into your accounts, ask for your passwords, or remotely control your device. We provide clear, verbal instructions so you can complete the recovery process yourself using the provider's official tools.

What if my verification code (OTP) isn't arriving?

We guide you through common troubleshooting steps for delayed SMS codes, such as checking network connections, utilizing alternative recovery emails, or finding the provider's dedicated support forms.

Do you help with email, social media, or shopping accounts?

Yes. We provide verbal navigation guidance for a wide variety of everyday digital accounts, including popular email providers, streaming services, and online retail platforms.

Is there a guarantee that my account will be recovered?

Because we do not have internal access to third-party systems, we cannot guarantee account recovery. We provide you with the information and options available to you based on the provider's public recovery processes.

How much does this guidance cost?

Calls are charged at £2.50 per minute, plus your phone provider's access charge. You must be 18 or over and have the bill payer's permission before calling.

Is this service affiliated with my email or device provider?

No. Basic Technical Care is a fully independent paid guidance service. We are not endorsed by, affiliated with, or representing any official brand, manufacturer, or platform.

What information should I have ready before calling?

Please ensure your device is connected to the internet and have the exact error message or screen prompt ready to read to us. Do not prepare any passwords or PINs, as we will never ask for them.

Can you help me bypass Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?

No, it is not possible to bypass security features. However, we can explain how to locate and use your pre-saved backup codes, or how to navigate the official account recovery process when your 2FA device is missing.

Why is my account temporarily locked?

Accounts are often temporarily locked due to too many failed login attempts or unusual login locations. We can explain standard lockout durations and how to safely trigger a secure unlock through the official provider.

How do I recover an account if I lost my phone number?

If you no longer have access to your registered phone number, we can walk you through the alternative recovery options most platforms offer, such as backup codes, secondary email addresses, or official identity verification forms.
