Ok this is going to be an odd situation.
I want/need to change my password, I'm going to be reformatting my computer tonight or tomorrow. But 1 problem, I don't have access to the e-mail account I used to setup my account anymore. The guy told me that he didn't think he was going to renew his site subscription and I guess he didn't because I can no longer sign in. Being the procrastinator that I am, I never did change the e-mail account or my password on this site. Am I fucked? Cy |

To change your password you'll need access to the account AKA you have to be logged in. To change your email address you'll need your password. To change your contact information, you MUST provide your account password for verification. This requirement prevents account stealing if you happen to leave yourself logged into another machine. In order to change your email address, you must enter a new email address and confirm the new email by typing it again. If you change your email address you will be assigned a new TEMP PASSWORD to verify the new email address is valid. Your new password will be sent immediately from the site to the new address. |

Somebody on another forum gave me an e-mail account that I could use to sign up for this website(since arfcom does not allow you to use a "free-mail" account) he did it through google and told me that he probably let his subscription or w/e laps(in january) I was retarded and didn't change the e-mail address or the password for arfcom. My password for arfcom is in the e-mail account(that I no longer have access too) so I can't change my e-mail OR password for arfcom... 
Am I fucked? I can provide proof I am who I really am... I don't want to have to put the cookies on a thumb drive(if that would even work)... |

You'll have to deal with Site Staff if you find yourself locked out because you lost access to the registered email account and can't remember your password. They are the only ones who can make or force through any changes like that. Who should I get in contact with? |
