    hey i have an old account i forgot the password to it but i remember the email address i used for it. I haven't gone on it in a while so when i tried to log back in it prompted me to not only put the username and password, but the birthday also. I have no idea what birthday i used. Is there any way to get my old account back?

    The only way is to request as a NF. and check it everyday for when the age goes up.

    Well, if you know the age, you have a 1 in 365 chance of getting the date right. How many guesses do you get each day? Rather than just visit the NF page everyday waiting for the age to increase, I'd just go through the calander trying a different date everytime you can until you get it. Not a great deal faster, but there's not much else you can do

    But... it happened also to me, but when I got the password with the email, I've put my username and password, and it worked also without inserting the date! :shock: Have you tried right?

    You shouldn't need the birthday actually. I have done it without filling anything in but the username+email address.

    Also don't be scared to send it once every 2 days. It took them a month to reply to me. Im sure they get more mail then they can handle.

    you could send them a mail but they require you to have details of the account which you would have forgotten them

    i forgot the details of the account
