Question Posted Tuesday May 16 2006, 9:10 pm

When I erturn from away on AIM, sometimes I get this message that says that my screename has been signed on in 2 different locations. I am worried that someone has my password and is going on to my s/n. When I go to change my password I have to answer this question that says: Who is your favorite singer. And I totally forget what I put down! Anyone know how else I can change my password?

i dont think there would be any other way than to get a new screename.. you could try remembering who your favorite singer was at the time you made that screename though, good luck!

When you get that IM if you respond to it by typing the number "1" it will sign the other person off who is on your screen name.

But that is kind of scary you know. Because they could go on your screen name when you're not home and then they could start IMing your friends & that will start a whole bunch of drama.

I would guess that you should make a new screen name. In your new one, make the password really hard to uncode. If you have an easy password like "fishsticks" someone could un-code that. So try a good password like "got823m83i12lK" If you wrote it down, you wouldn't forget it.

Best of luck, take care.

If you have any further questions or concerns, my inbox is free.

when that IM comes up, there should be a link, click that. that signs the other person off. but if that doesnt work, the best thing would probably be to just get a new sn. =/

peace ♥

well maybe you should just get a new screen name or something...chances r who ever has your pswd now will find out again and if you get a new screen name dont tell anyone your pswd..not even friends...but if you dont want to do that i think if you look around on the site you can figure out how to change it..not sure though..

You can re-set your password.
On the AIM sign on screen,
it has a link that says "Forgot your password?"
Click it....
It takes you to a website, fill out the information....hopefully this will work!

And yeah someone else has your password, or if you go on AIM on your cellphone...then it's just remembering you being signed on from your phone.
