Yes, my answer is going to deal about how to troubleshoot “AOL account won’t let reset password” issue. So I hope this happens to be a one-stop solution for you.

Why AOL does not allow reset password?

If AOL doesn’t allow password reset it simply implies following reasons

1.    It may be possible that recovery options are not available. You must look back to your recovery options functionality.

2.   While changing the password if you are not able to answer the recovery questions correctly it indicates hacking or any unusual intrusion. That’s why you are not able to reset the password.

3.   Browser problem may also restrict you for a password reset. Then try to reset the password using the incognito (private) window.

4.      You have sent spam content in the mail to anyone this can also be a reason.
