I think you'll find that WWA has customer service down pat :)... but 
unfortunately, if you don't have their number, you can't get to the service :)

I believe their number (due to the move) is 312-803-WWA1
Press 3 when you get into their system for tech aupport... 

Hopefully this will help in the future :)
