Eh, I can't login to the forums! I could like 30 minutes ago, but now it tells me that my email address may be invalid, and I don't remember the passwd and I can't reset it or the email because the email address it's registered to, no longer exists. This is a puppet of mine, the name in question is: RightWing Conspirators...can anyone help?

You don't remember the password for the nation? Because the password for the nation is the password for the forums.

If you have to, you can change your email on NS, and then it will change your email with Jolt. That way you can have an up-to-date email registered.

The password for the forum account is the same as the password you created your nation with. Changing your password in the game won't affect your password on the forum, and vice-versa.

So then..... why is RTW saying he'd never seen the password before? If it was the password he created his nation with, then wouldn't he recognize the password?

When you ask for your password, it gives you a new one.

All good software assigns a new password instead of mailing out their current one for security purposes.
