How to Recover Forgotten Rocketmail Account Password

Did you know that RocketMail was one of the Internet's biggest email service providers since the 90s? Some of you younger readers might not even have been born yet, but the 90s was a magical time of bad fashion, Nintendo, cheesy action movies, and Dial-up Internet. Back then downloading a simple image file was a struggle, and you can just forget watching movies online. The fact that RocketMail managed to get big in the 90s is a true feat.

Then, in 1997, RocketMail was bought by Yahoo. Once Yahoo acquired the email service, the old RocketMail accounts were incorporated into Yahoo's web-based email system. RocketMail used to have its own protocols that are no longer the case. Now all of its operations happen on Yahoo's website since the two have become synonymous, and this include password resetting. Your complete RocketMail email address is basically your ID on Yahoo's website.
