Common McAfee Installation Errors
and Their Solutions
Your account is locked -
If you have forgotten your email address or your
password, just click on the relevant link to
retrieve the information. Do note that the
McAfee does not recognize the multiple forms of
the same email address. For example,
John18_at_yahoo.co.uk and John18_at_yahoo.com will not
be recognized as different versions of the same
email address. Similarly, McAfee passwords have
only letters and numbers. They do not recognize
alphanumeric characters. When you try to retrieve
your password, it is sent to your registered
email ID. In case, you still cannot get into
your account, contact McAfee Customer Service.
