That's weird...

If you have an email address attached to Mad_Man, just simply ask for a new password. If not...then best of luck trying to get the password back. Remember passwords are case-sensitive.

if someone stole it they most likely changed the address,
Question, are you a user of AOL?

While I am not sure what the AOL program brings into the matter, I do know a bit about nation thefts. According to the FAQ, if your nation has been hijacked, and the password and e-mail address changed, there is no way to tell if the nation is/was actually yours. If this has happened, then, as the FAQ says, think of it as a coup d'etat.

Mad_Man-
I would have to say try the password again in case you mistyped it both times. If that does nothing, I'm afraid your stuck.
Xichuan Dao, the reason loop brought AOL up is that AOL does something funny with IPs--not sure exactly how it works, but an AOL user can get that warning even if they did not attempt to log in.
