Method 2 – Using Your Email ID to Recover Your Zee5 Account

Similar to your mobile number, you can also use your email ID to log in to your Zee5 account. In the same way, this method works only if you have previously used your email address to log in, or if you have linked your email ID to your Zee5 account previously. If you haven’t done any of these things before, then this method does not work for you, and you can directly proceed to the next method mentioned below. Let us now discuss the detailed procedure of recovering your Zee5 account with your email address –

1. Firstly, visit the official Zee5 Password Reset Page. If this link does not work for you, you can directly go on to the usual Zee5 account login page. (In there, you will find the Forgot Password? Option right below the login form).
2. Type in your email address in the text box given (the email address that you used to create or link your Zee5 account).
3. Click on Send Password Reset Link. Sometimes, you will receive an error stating “The user could not be found“. This means that the email address you just entered is not registered with Zee5. Cross check whether you have entered the right email ID.
4. You will now receive a verification email from Zee5. This email will contain a link to reset your password. Follow all the instructions given on this email to reset your password.

In this case, or if you cannot perform this method for some other cause, you can proceed with the next method given here –

Method 3 – Using Social Media Accounts to Recover Your Zee5 Account

Other than your mobile number and email address, you can also use your social media accounts like Google, Facebook, or Twitter. This applies when you have previously linked your Social media accounts with Zee5. The process becomes much easier if you are already logged in to these accounts on your device. All you need to do is –

1. Go to the usual Zee5 login screen.
2. Click on the particular social media icon (Google, Facebook, or Twitter, whatever you have linked to Zee5).
3. Click on Forgot Password.
4. Sign in to the respective Social media platform.

That’s it. You have now successfully logged in to your Zee5 account. However, if you have forgotten your password and are using your Social media account to log in, you need to sign in to your social media account every time you want to log in to Zee5. So, the ideal method to use this is to log in through social media once, and then change your password once you are inside your account. You can use any method to change your password. We have also discussed the different methods to change your Zee5 password.

Sometimes, you are already logged in to your Zee5 account on one device, and you want to open it on another device. The problem is, you don’t remember your password.
