Question Posted Thursday October 26 2006, 1:49 am

ive been having the same screen name for atleast these past 3 or 4 years. someone has been signing onto my sn lately, and it signs me off! ive been trying to change my password. but when the security question "your pets name" comes up, i get the wrong answer. because i dont have a pet! and ive never had a pet! and plus i must've made up that answer like 4 years ago! i dont know what to do. but i do think its my boyfriend signing on.. me and him are like almost on break up mode! and he got mad cause i accused him! does anyone know how i can change my pw!

I really don't think there is a way to change your password. This has happened to me before also, and I wasn't able to sign back onto that screename because I didn't have the security question correct.

The best advice I can give you is to just create a new screename. In your profile, write, "SOMEONE IS SIGNING ONTO THIS SCREENAME. I'VE GOT A NEW ONE. CALL ME/TEXT ME/ASK ME ON MYSPACE/ETC FOR IT" and then just save your buddylist into a folder you can easily find and then create your new one. And whenever you go to your new buddylist and everything, just open the buddylist you saved, and all your friends'll be on it and just IM them and let them know you changed it.

As for your security question, make it something nobody would ever know. Like you said, you don't have a pet, so make the question that you have a pet, because nobody would be able to at least guess the answer, and make it something you've never said to a friend before, even as a joke. Make it the name like,"Heathcliff Huxtable" from the Cosby Show, haha.

And just remember: you can never trust anybody with your password, because you never know what's going to happen in the future & wether you'll break up or fight or what.

I hope I helped.

Well, don't make accusations my dear.

Anywhos, about the password, make a complaint to AIM saying that someone keeps on siging on with your sn and you can't figure out the psw..
Question thouhg, how do you sign on when you don't know your psw? As the person said below me:

Get a new sn.Transfer all your friend's sn to the new list, make a new profile and all that junk

If you can, get on your old on, delete all the sn on your buddy list (after you transferred them to the new sn) and on the profile type:
THIS IS NOT (your name)'s SN--

or something like that. Talk to all your close friends and whoever was on that list to not IM or reply if your sn sends them a msg or something

Sorry to say, but it might just be better to get a new screen name. It would be very difficult to change it now, and if someone else has your screen name's password, they could change your password at any point if they know the answer to the security question.
Make sure you do some research on your boyfriend signing on. Ask a friend to let you sign on, and wait until you see your screen name go on. Check the profile, because it might say where the person is coming from if they've done anything with it. Also, check if he's on when your screen name's on. If not, it may give away that he's the one doing it.
Hope this has helped at all, and good luck!
