Navigating Account Access Roadblocks
⚠️ Forgot Username or Password
Cause: Inability to recall login credentials for the MyAES portal.
Solution: If you cannot remember your username or password, look for the "Forgot Password?" or "Forgot Username?" links on the login page. For a forgotten username, you typically need to provide the email address associated with your account.
⚠️ Service Account Already Assigned to a MyAES Profile
Cause: Another authorized user (e.g., spouse or family member) has already created a profile for the service account.
Solution: An AES Ohio service account can only be linked to one MyAES profile. Check with other authorized users on the account. If no one else has created a profile, contact the Customer Solutions Center at 800-433-8500.
⚠️ Ineligible for Online Service Changes
Cause: Certain conditions, such as a past due balance, an inaccessible meter, or miscellaneous charges, can prevent online processing of moving requests.
Solution: If you receive a notification that your account is ineligible for online service changes, contact AES Ohio at 800-433-8500 to speak with a representative who can assist you.
