Old Nildram Email Address

Does anybody know how to reset the password on an old nildram email address? The domain @gotadsl.co.uk

Nildram have been gone for a number of years but my email still works. I want to set it up on my new phone but can't remember the password!

Ive found the attached login screen, however there is no means to reset the password and it doesn't say who runs the service

https://pop3.gotadsl.co.uk

Clicked on the link provided, Waterfox refused go there and had it done, Kaspersky AV would have refused to load it anyway.

If you go on to the TalkTalk Community Forums they will be able to sort you out one way or another.

Hi,

I've done a whois and it came back with the registrar of Ascio Technologies Inc. Denmark (http://www.ascio.com).

HTH,

The registrar doesn't really help with who the domain owner is though, because the registrar won't be giving that information out for data protection reasons.

In any case the IP address suggests these people are hosting the mailbox: https://www.verygoodemail.com/

how do you normally access the email?
if its though outlook or suchlike you may be able to 'show password', similarly so if accessed though a web browser which has remembered password.

else you might be able to use wireshark, (or similar) and see what is sent.

Nildram at some point finished up managed or owned by TalkTalk (or may have been TalkTalk's business unit).

Just go on the TT forums and ask, the OCE's on there are very helpful and have helped other ex-Nildram users in the past.

I've just left Talk Talk Business and had 2 (still functioning!) @gotadsl.co.uk addresses, so TTB does indeed own that domain. Their helpline is 0800 083 3003. I suggest you ring them during weekday working hours, when you are more likely to get a UK-based responder.

Good Luck

Btw, I only left because they don't do FTTP, which has become available at my address, and the ADSL is inadequate for my household's needs.

Cheers, Mike

Good bit of detective work, yes they are indeed hosting it. From the ascio website you can get to the gotadsl.co.uk login screen.

Seems strange it is just sat there and working, but I won't complain!

Thanks for the advice. In the end I managed to get the password by trial and error based upon what I have used in the past.
