    I'm so mad at myself right now. I was bored, so I thought it'd be fun to change my password to my aim account. I changed it, signed off, then left to go eat. I came back, and I couldn't remember it. I've spent the last two hours trying ten thousand different ways to recall it. Ouija board, Pendulum, pressing random buttons, making educated guesses. It's awful, all iwant to do is get onto aim.

    I've tried having it sent to my email account, but aht has done nothing. Now, I can't request for the password to be sent for another 24 hours.

    Anyone have any suggestions on what to do to get it back? I'm open to jsut about anyhting.

    Thanks.

    Find a program that will decrypt the password file. Not sure if anyone has developed one for aim but it wouldn't hurt to try google. Other then that...i guess you will have to wait until the aol email servers send the request to you or wait 24 hours until you can request your lost password again.

    if you didnt receive the email right away, you could have possibly registered that aim name with another email address and forgotten about it.

    Next Time, use 'password' for the password.
    It's harder to forget...

    And it's easier for others to guess! Just like the basics: Love, Sex, Secret and God.
