Okay. my old username was Mewzero, but one day when i tried to get on, no matter how many times i tried logging in my username and password, it wouldn't work.

At first i thought maybe i had put in the wrong info, but after the 37th time i knew something was up. I checked my confirmation email, and i was typing in the right stuff, but it just wouldn't work!

And I recently i found out that the same thing happened to LegendaryFreak, so now he made another account (Eyeflare) because he couldn't get on with his LF account.

AND the same thing happened to NER0.

And how does this classify as a bug? The admins are not responsible for making your password secure. Make sure your password isn't made up of simple words, and do not use personal information like your birthday or ID number for the password. Use a combination of random numbers and letters, so that the password cannot be easily obtained.

Did you type in properly? If yes, maybe your computer is spoiled or something.

wtf?

Spoiled? Honestly explain, if he typed it in properly the information is either incorrect, and his computer just sat there and did nothing. If you are going to give help like this, I would suggest sounding intelligent first. :wink:

As for Eon, I don't think it's possible for a computer to just randomly change your password. Nomatter how smart a viruse or whatever may be, it can't be that smart. :?

Make darn well sure you're typing in the right information. Get a parent or guardian to check for reassurance. :) If worse comes to worse, you'll have to create another account, which it seems you already did.

Weird. :?

I have the memory of a gnat, so I always right my passwords down and hide them somewhere. Of course, then I forget where I hid them. :wink:

I don't think anything is wrong with your user I think you guys are just starting to forget your passwords. Their isn't really anything anyone can do for you.....Why do you have so many accounts.

Second half first:

He created another account because he couldn't log into his other one!

Okay, next half,

He looked at his confirmation e-mail and entered the information.

He didn't forget, okay? He looked at that e-mail you get as soon as your register that shows you your username and password.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the administrators of this website can do something about it, it's just whether they want to. :)

Aside from just changing the password/email to something general, they can't. Administrators cannot retrieve the password up to my knowledge.

But, whether you can't get into your old account or not, there seems to be no need to. You already have an established account, so what's the need for it? Unless you're trying to smuggle Psybucks >:O

:D

Are you sure the CAPS LOCK didnt turn on or anything? Sometimes that screws things up, other than that, I have nothing. Basically what Swift said, you have an established account, so just roll with the times.

The only real solution that I've found to such problems is ticking the litttle "Log me in automatically" box. I've already forgotten my password, but since it happens automatically then I don't need to remember anything. Yay for laziness.

Not really a solution, but it's a could prevention from the same thing happening again.

you could also save the email confirmation you get with your username and password instead of deleting it, just create a folder with an obscure name like "stuff" and just save email stuff with passwords in there.
