That is the problem, I retired from my company 8 months ago and my current email address and phone # are no longer valid.

Did you set up this LinkedIn account with your work email?


Customer Reply
Yes and ditto with my cell phone #.

Does it also use to be your work phone number that you don't have access to no more?

This time it worked. The following message was "We’re working to restore access to your account as soon as possible. We’ll send you an email with more details in 24-48 hours."

Great! So now you have to wait 24-48 hour for email.
