2 Issues: (1) Cannot reset Acronis account password successfully; (2) Installing ATIH 2014 causes my system to become unbootable

Thread needs solution

I have two problems:

(1) I have forgotten my Acronis Account password. I try to use the reset password procedure on the Web, but it fails to allow me to log in with the newly provided temporary password. How to proceed?

(2) I am running ATIH 2010; no problems. I purchased ATIH 2014. I install it and then reboot my computer at the end of the installation process my computer no longer boots properly to Windows. I am presented with recovery options only. I cannot even boot into safe mode. I use ATIH 2010 to restore my unbootable system and try to install again -- same misbehavior. I'd like to use ATIH 2014. How to proceed?

O/S: Windows 7 Home 64-bit
Computer: Dell Alienware w/12 GB RAM, 2 TB internal HD, 6 TB external HD (one eSATA, one USB)

How can I contact Acronis Tech Support directly to solve these problems?

Thanks in advance,

Hello Bary,

I created a support case regarding your first problem and you will be contacted as soon as possible.

Concerning the second issue I have to say you that you'll need to purchase PPI because according to our database your support program has expired. For more information regarding support options please refer to this table.

Thank you.

Hi Barry another instance of money grabbing. I, like you, purchased a couple of different versions of Acronis with the understanding that these programs work. I didnt use my program for some time and when i did need to use it it didnt work and caused me a load of stress and wasted time. The program simply didnt do what it said it could and I had non bootable drives left over from using Acronis TI2014. My so called 'support program' also expired and now they want me to give them more money for support on their program which does not work. Surely a support program should depend on how many times you require support, I have never asked acronis for support till now...and as a faithful customer just get told to 'pay more' its a disgrace.

Hello Neil,

I'll register your feedback in our Customer Listening System.

However, I'd like to provide you with more information about your support options:

First of all we offer perpetual recovery support, since that’s the core of our business.
For other issues with each license of Acronis True Image (n, n-1 versions) we give free chat/email technical support within 30 days after the purchase.
After the standard support program expires you can purchase an Acronis Pay Per Incident Support license to contact support via phone/chat/email with technical issue.
If the issue is on the side of the product we will refund the cost of the support fee.

Mire information you can find here.

Thank you.
