I have registered with my University account so HP would not let me to register again, what can I do to change the account to student? Because I do want to purchase one of the products from HP. Thanks.

Hello,

 

I am not sure about the student link but

it might be worth deleting your account and then register again with the link you are mentioning. It is probably the faster way as well.

 

If you go to My account, it will take you to a tab Personal information. Above, you will see a link Edit HP password - Contact information. Click on contact information and if you then scroll down, you will find a link to delete profile.

 

Let me know if this helps.

The other way  I can think of if to go via our admin to see if they can change that.

Hi, I have tried what you suggested, but I could not find the link which says edit HP password, it only has Password reset at the bottom.

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

After clicking on MY Account, do you see the below?

 

Edit HP Passport > User ID - Password - Contact information - Security questions 

 

If yes, click on Contact Information and once the page loads, scroll down and at the bottom of the page, you will find delete profile.
