Resetting the Spotify account password

If you forget your Spotify username or password, you have to at least remember your email/username and have access to the email account to retrieve your Spotify account by resetting the password.

You can reset your Spotify password by going to the login page. Click the Forgot your password link.

Simply enter the email or username, then do the reCAPTCHA thing. Select Send.

You’ll then receive an email from Spotify to reset your password. Click Reset password to change your Spotify password without remembering your old password.

Try not to use a VPN

If somehow it still doesn’t work and you still can’t sign in to Spotify, make sure you are not using a VPN. Although this is unlikely to cause the error code 3, you might have to turn the VPN off when signing in to avoid any issue, like the Spotify web player not working.
