    I apologize in advance is this is not the proper forum in which to ask this question- but what is my account number?

    I'm trying to set up a log in user name and a password for Alienware's support pages (My Hive) without any success.

    Apparently the account number on my packing slip for the M15x I received today is not a number that the site recognizes.

    I just spent about an hour being bounced around through 6-7 different reps on the phone plus wait time. I don't think I could have been any more direct with my question, "What is my account number?" and yet no one seems to be able to understand what I'm asking.

    Is there a secret to this mysterious number?

    The Hive is for the older AW systems. The M11x, M15x, M17x - use support.dell.com. Your Dell Account# is not for the Hive.

    I went through this as well - I wonder how much these phone calls cost Dell

    Amusingly the Dell site won't fully recognise you either - if you submit an online support request using an Alienware service tag you'll get an email back from a Dell tech saying that they can't handle it and can't forward it to Alienware as Dell doesn't know Alienware's email address :)

    You need to phone in instead

    Looks like Dell is trying to merge Alienware support but stopped part way through the reorganization :eek:

    You will be routed to Dell Support.
