don't require a birthday anymore, just the correct user and password and you're in! this is for those who didn't know
wow nice thanks for info! edit: just recovered a 77 months old account! yay! edit2: is it too suspiscious if I AB in the attic tomorrow with that account? Will it get me iced?
LOL, they must have got a fair few complaints about it. But sayin that, when did TNT care about complaints?
Wow this is wicked, thanks so much for the information! ^^ Wonder why TNT decided to do this though. Shall take down the birthdays of each account just in case... [Edit] Just unlocked a crapload of accounts. No UC pets, to my disappointment. Just wished that I wasn't so noobish in the past to name my accounts and pets that stupidly -_- [/Edit]
I can't unlock REALLY old accounts though (i.e. 6-7 years ago). I can still view their user lookup, but it says 'bad password' when I try to sign into them. And when I request for the password to be sent to my email, it says that there's 'no such username', when I can still view the lookup! Hence clearly it's not because the password is wrong. TNT screwed up when switching servers I guess
I have found that do the "lost username" field instead and input your email will have both the user name/password sent to your address of all accouts ever registered on that email.
Oh yes, it worked! ^^ ^ For those experiencing this problem, send the username and password to the email associated with it. After you receive the email, you won't get a 'bad password' error. Not sure why this error surfaced in the first place, but yep this method works!
