Hi @harish!

If you are claiming your device from a new account, you must be sure that the device is removed from the previous account. You can follow the instructions on this [guide](https://docs.particle.io/troubleshooting/guides/device-management/how-can-i-transfer-my-device-to-another-user/) to transfer your device to a new account. For removing your device you will need to use the particle CLI, the particle console, or the particle IDE. After that, you should claim your device normally into your new account.

Please let me know if the guide helps you to solve the issue.

For security reasons, access to the original account is required for device transfer. If you don't remember the password of your account but you have access to the email with which it was created, you can recover it [here](https://login.particle.io/forgot)

@jalbersr  
i do not remember from which account I used it.

Unfortunately, there is no way to remove a device without access to the account that holds the device. Please check your spam folder in your mail. Sometimes the reset password is sent there.
