What to Do After Forgetting a Hulu Account Password

• An email address can be entered to receive a reset link
• Option is provided in the event an email is forgotten
• Hulu customer service contact information is available

It’s hard to imagine something more frustrating than the act of staring blankly at one’s account login screen with not even a remote idea as to what the password is.  Fortunately, Hulu customers can take swift action to remedy such a situation thanks to the online password recovery process found at www.hulu.com/forgot.  The process of getting an account back in action can be initiated by first entering the email address used to register.  Once the email address has been entered the Send Me a Reset Link button can be tapped to have a link sent that can be used to initiate the  password reset process.  Those who suddenly recall the original password can cancel the reset process by clicking the Login button at the top right corner of the Hulu forgotten password recovery page to be redirected to the login screen where an email address and password can be entered to gain access.

Original Shows Offered by Hulu

• Runaways – Focuses on high school students who discover they have superpowers
• Future Man – Chaos ensues when a janitor concurs a nearly impossible video game
• The Wrong Mans – A comedic series that offers a touch of action (half hour episodes)
• 11/22/1963 – A high school teacher finds a portal that leads back to the year 1960
• Chance – A thrilling series based on a novel by Kem Nunn (buckle up for the ride!)

Those who begin the password recovery process only to come to the dreadful realization they also have no clue as to what email address was used to register the account (talk about a double whammy!) can remain calm as the link at the bottom of the Hulu forgotten password recovery page can be clicked to find the account (information about the credit card on file will need to be entered).  General customer inquiries can be addressed by calling Hulu’s toll-free customer service phone number (sometimes the easiest way to handle things is a quick phone call).

Sometimes watching a program only during its regular scheduled air time just doesn’t cut it.  Fortunately, the modern-day technological era has provided viewers with anytime and (perhaps more importantly) ANYWHERE access to most of their favorite programming.  For example, fans of OWN can now settle in for endless hours of around the clock content streaming thanks to the network’s streaming app.  Those who think this sounds like a good idea (if not GREAT idea) can begin the device activation process by going to start.watchown.tv/activate and entering the code shown on the device before clicking the Activate! button to proceed (instructions provided on the device must be followed to get the required activation code).  Once the activation process has been successfully completed.  Once the device activation process has been completed there won’t be a whole lot left to do other than pop up a bag of popcorn (or possibly open a bag of chips) and settle into the couch for a long TV binge-sesh.

It should be pointed out that both the device and the computer must be connected to the internet before attempting to activate a device at start.watchown.tv/activate (may seem like an obvious step but it doesn’t hurt to clarify!).  Those with questions about the OWN app can try checking out the FAQs available at the network’s main web page.  Questions or comments can be submitted through the Feedback section of the app or sent directly by email.

Sheer curiosity alone is enough to make the average person wonder where on earth they come from every once in a while.  Fortunately, those who wish to get an in-depth answer to such a perplexing question (one that’s better than reciting one’s home zip code) can now do so with the help of a handy home test from Ancestry DNA.  The innovative testing service combines advanced DNA science with the world’s largest online family history resource to give curious individuals accurate information about their genetic ethnicity (sure beats knocking on the door of random relatives asking for a family tree!).  Those who have purchased a test and wish to put an end to their curiosity can begin by going to the Ancestry DNA Activate page to start the kit activation process.  Upon arrival at the page the process of activating the DNA kit can be initiated by logging with an email address or username and password.  It should be noted that those who have not yet registered for an Ancestry DNA account must do so prior to being able to complete the kit activation process (a brief online form can be completed at the Ancestry DNA Activate page to register).
