I'm just having al lsorts of petty problems. Anyway, I lost the password to my account in my grand college move and I rather need it, how can I retrieve it?

(And I'll just shoot myself if there was something blantantly obvious but I overlooked it.)

It's covered in the quick FAQ announcement in this forum (which I link to in my sig).

Anyhow, it's practically impossible to retrieve your old password. You can get a new one sent to the e-mail address for your account here. You can then set the password to something that's easier to remember via your member page (there's a button labeled "Change Keen Info" or something like that).

HAHAHAHA. My e-mail account that I signed up with was closed by Hotmail several months ago. ^^;;

It's hilarious really. (And sorry about not looking in the FAQ, I don't go on these forums that often.)

I use a hotmail account as a spam magnet, so I know that if an account's "deactivated" you can revive it just by trying to login and then clicking through a page or two. If you can bear doing that you can get a new passwrod immeaditly, then change it and your e-mail for keenspace. Otherwise you'll have to wait for someone to make it through the backlog of e-mail for help@ to change your address manually.

I was trying that last night, in fact, I reactivated my OTHER Hotmail account where I got ANOTHER Keenspace account to so I could get THAT password.

However, unlike that account, the one this particular password went to won't even accept its own password, so I believe I erased it stupidly. >_>

I feel like such an idiot. Sorry I'm being such a bother. ^^;;

Nevermind, crisis averted, sicne I came up with a BRILLIANT idea: SIgn up for the account again! Amazing, no?

Thanks for the help. :3
