Memberyou guys just don’t understand how much damage somebody else could do if they have the keys to your aim

MemberRemember when you had to enter an email address when registering for a screenname? Well, enter your screenname here, and check that email address, unless the hacker changed it.

MemberThere really isn’t anything you can do for this thing except make a new account.

ParticipantIf you cannot recover your password with the link Clobbex provided,then all you can do is create a new screen name and tell your friends that your old one is no longer yours.

MemberAnd, if you want your BuddyList back, go to C:Documents and SettingsUserNameApplication DataAim…ScreenName and open the file userinfo.bag in Notepad. Then download David’s AIM Buddylist recovery program to your desktop. Open the program and paste all the userinfo.bag information. It will reassemble your buddylist in .BLT format.
