How To Remove Recovery Questions

As many of you know Jagex has recently changed the recovery system to something that is troublesome and no longer has separate processes for Forgotten password and stolen password recoveries. Thus, making the old way of removing recovery questions null and void.

I did not figure out this way ---- ALL the credit goes to MJD for finding this amazing discovery.

To remove the recovery questions from any account, please follow the following steps:





Step 1: Go to runescape.com and scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. Click on "Profile & Settings" under Account.






Once you click that it will take you to a screen that looks like the one below. Click on "Forgot Password?".





Step 2: You will now be prompted to provide your username or the e-mail address you use to log-in to your account. Type in the information and click submit.





Step 3: Whether you have an e-mail registered to the account currently or recently had one, you will be prompted to provide that e-mail address. It will state you have two attempts to get it correct. Don't worry if you don't because it will just move on to the normal recovery information screen after you fail two times.





If you enter an e-mail address it likes, it will say they have e-mailed you.





Check that e-mail and click the link. At this point it will either provide you with a screen to reset your password or it will provide you with a screen for all the recovery information you normally have to provide. If it provides you with the reset password screen, simply look at it and move on to Step 5.





If it provides you with the provide more details screen move on to Step 4.

Step 4: Either you failed to provide an e-mail it liked two times or you clicked the link in the e-mail and you need to provide more information. Now fill out all the information it requests to the best of your ability. At the bottom it may ask you for an e-mail. Make sure you provide one you can access because you will need it to track the recovery request. Click submit and within 10 mins you will receive a message indicating whether it was granted or denied.





If denied, repeat steps 1-4. If accepted, move onto step 5.





Step 5: Your request was accepted! Congratulations. You must now click the link in the e-mail and you will be prompted again for the log-in username or e-mail.





It will then show a screen saying "Success" and requesting you to provide a new password. DON'T DO IT! Simply look at the screen and X out of that window.





Step 6: Go back to the runescape.com screen and repeat Steps 1-4. This time you may notice it is the same process, but instead of a normal recovery process it will stated "Locked Account Recovery." Because you haven't changed the password from your previous request, your account is now indeed locked. Instead of going on to step 5 after you successfully complete steps 1-4 again, please move onto step 7.





Step 7: At this point you should have received an e-mail stating your "Locked Account Recovery Request was Successful." If it is denied, keep trying. You need to remember that locked account recovery requests are sometimes harder to accomplish then regular recovery requests because Jagex believes someone else other than the original owner is using the account. In the e-mail stating you were sucessful, click the link.





It will prompt you again for the username or e-mail log-in information. Once provided, it will state "Success."





This is where you provide a new password and click submit.





Step 8: Once you have completed this, log into your account and you will be amazed to see your Recovery Questions are once again "Not Set." Congratulations.

This is just encouraging more people to scam on Sythe.

 

how it removes the recoveries and just because i didn't do a deal with you doesnt mean you should post on all my threads with hate.

 

This is actually very helpful, thanks.

 

I was surprised this worked to tell you the truth.

Thank you so much for posting this.

Edit: Yes it works Bailey.

 

Anyone tried this?

 

I did this tric some months ago, without i was knowing it my account was locked i recovered it and the email set / recovery set was gone so yes it works.

 

Sweet, thanks for confirming. Does anyone know how long it takes for the locked account appeal to be reviewed and for jagex to email you?

 

Takes about 10 minutes to get an email.

 

I got the first email really quick saying i can reset my password but i closed it like the guide says and filled the info out again, now its locked and i havent recieved an email yet? been over an hour i would say :S do i wait or do it again?

EDIT: finally got the email, Recovs are now gone amazing guide, thanks mate!

Is there anyway to get an unknown email off my account?

 

Thanks for this, very helpful guide mate. Makes account trading a lot simpler.

Dream Big wrote a guide that's pretty much just like this last summer (http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1207851). There's a link to it in my own guide:

This is very helpful, I appreciate the guide. Makes selling accounts much easier.

It's basically locking your account on purpose, and recovering it again. This exact guide has been here for so long.
