I’m using AIM about 4 days ago, it kicks me out and I try to login. Been trying to login with the correct password and it keeps telling me my pw is incorrect.
Been trying to use the Lost Password feature and its not working on their site right now. I havent tried for 24 hours and it still tells me the same thing.
Anyone know whats going on at AIM? Do you think its related to the new Email service they’re offering. I didn’t sign up for it though

BUT, the only times that I’ve ever heard of being suspended but the window displays “incorrect password” was for bots…offline messaging bots to be specific. This happened to both Joe of Messageserver and to Matt of DoorManBot at one point. This might also be what happened to AIMOffline, but Matt would have to chime in to confirm this. The thing that happened, was that AOL’s system flagged certain screen names as being “bot-like spam” so they were suspended…sort of.
So yeah, it should look like the image I linked to, unless your password is actually incorrect. Someone else could’ve changed your password, so you better check ASAP to have your password emailed to you…if it’s been changed, then change your email address password and AIM password immediately.

i’m gonna stay away from trying to logon again for a few days. Sucks since AIM is a free app, there’s no support or a way to contact their team.it also sucks that their lost password tool on the site is not working. So for now, I can’t login and you can only change your pw and email address once you’re logged in. catch 22.

Tell AOL you need into your account and they might let you back in.
