Recovering my old nation

Edit: Sorry, I'm not sure if this goes here or not, but it seems like a technical problem.

I have recently been brought back to the NationStates community by a group of friends who play. I have an old nation named Alexandria Sakatauri, but I can't remember the password to it. When I try to receive the password, I get an error saying my nation doesn't exist. Well, durr, it doesn't exist, because I need to bring it back, and without a password, I can't do that. So my question is this.

How do I get my old nation of Alexandria Sakatauri back?


Also, as a side note, the same issue is happening when I tried my grandfather's old account. Yes, I got my grandpa to play NationStates for a bit, he always wanted to run a country, but he died over a year ago, still long after we forgot about NationStates. His nation was Mikatoria, named after himself, Michael Fox.

I'd appreciate it if anyone could tell me a way to get into these accounts, or recover the passwords. Thank you very much.

Try to request the password now. I've manually resurrected it.

Thanks, I've got the link that should allow me to log in, but its not doing it. I click the link, and it links me to my page, but does not log me in. What should I do now?

That was my fault. It's fixed now, but you'll need to modify the URL we sent (or request it again). It should look roughly like nationstates.net/password_recovery=1/nation=.../hash=.... Replace the "/" in the part after "hash=" with a ",".

Try the automatic resurrection. If it doesn't work, put in a Getting Help request here: http://www.nationstates.net/30067/page=help
