    So when I was in 7th grade (circa 2001) I made my first neopets account. I stopped using neopets completely for several years, and when I came back they asked for my birth date to log in. When I originally made that account I used a fake birth date, and I have no idea what it is. I emailed neopets about this and they said I should just make a new account, which I did (about 2.5 years ago.) But is there any way to get back into my old account without knowing the birth date I entered?

    Well some people could help you, if you had your username and password correct.

    Well I had the same problem. I knew my Username & Password but used a fake birthday but since they have no way to prove it is me they could not give it back to me.

    yes they would but you must give them some information about the account, how many neopoints you had, which items etc. i haven't used it for 2 years and don't remember anymore. it's pretty stupid you have to give them information if you know username and password and no one used the account for 2 years anyway.

    So, with some assistance I was able to determine the birthday I used when I made my old neopets account. However, now I have another problem. The birth date I used was in 1901, and the list of years that you can select when you log in only goes back to 1904. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?

    Whoa really? 1901 -- probably TNT deemed most people were dead from back then. If you can't select that year, you would have to contact TNT. Not really a way around it, at least not publicly.

    Lightning is there anyway to change the birthday input range? There
    Might be, like just enter some JavaScript code into the address bar to add values?

    ..You could try editting the source code and then saving that page, then opening that page.. whether or not it would actually send correctly to the server is a different story. That's how a pet glitch once existed ;) Change source code on pet creation page to any colour/species u wanted and it worked... :p
