ICQ Password Problem
 

fucking thing is asking me for my password to login - i put in the correct password and it won't work.

so i go to the password recovery tool on ICQ's website and it doesn't work - script hangs

:helpme

I'm having the same problem Mutt, must be something off in their system.

i was wondering if other people were experiencing the same thing - thanks for letting me know :)

Likewise :)

wow man i thought im alone and i was already sending messages to people that my number got stolen (i didnt see any threads on GFY about it before yours)

tried the recovery as well but it times out

lets' hope its just an icq error and it will be working again

i experienced a lot of ICQ login problems in past years but never got one about invalid password

I have the same, checked icq.com and it's down.

I have the same problem!

Same here. I was just coming to make a post about it to see if anyone else is having the same issue...lol. Whew..I thought I got my number stolen.

whew I thought someone stole my icq! Im having the same probs.

I got a message saying the servers were down

on another note, how do I back up my ICQ contacts ?

i'm using icq lite 5.1

Just copy your ICQ contacts folder, it will backup your history as well.

here too, site not working and icq login fails

I wanna know this also, and I cant find any contacts folder...

Same problem here... also thought I got jacked... oh well, will try again when I get up

Mine too, what a pain in the ass to wake up to! :mad:

peuw
ok, great, I thought it was only me
seems like we'll just have to wait it out then

same here too...

Same here

well i guess is better not to find 400+ contacts from your list on your next login then losing all the icq number.
it pissed me off so bad! screw icq!!! :(

Got the same problem and I was scared few minutes but then I saw in this thread that I'm not alone.
Now is the right time to backup my ICQ data.

oh my, we are:disgust having the same problem! :error:disgust

Yep same here.

ICQ smokes crack cocaine... Not that this is a bad thing... just pointing it out.

Same here... thought I hacked :mad:

Thanks for the thread. I too got in a state of panic about my password not working. All of the ICQ pages time out, it is a mess. I tell ya, it is such a widely used program, but it has so many problems and navigating their site has always been to say the least torture.

Same here, fails on one, works on another, tho, it was working prior to restarting comp, so whoever was log'd in prior, stayed log'd in.

glad i am not alone :)

same here...

same here, don't even know my password, couldn't find it on fiel either, will try the recovery thing whehn it comes back up

icq is down......

Yep I'm having the same problem, I was hoping I would come here to find out what was going on.

Same - thank god I have skype, aim and GFY LOL

extremely frustrating

kind of peaceful though without it for awhile

i miss these guys

same problem here, strange how its working fine for some people though...

hack the planet

ditto here. way too early for icq to be messing with me on wrong passwords. and going from 50 windows open to 0 is a panic attack waiting to happen. :helpme

I can't connect through Pidgin same password problem, but just started ICQ and I'm connected:thumbsup

if you have QIP, Miranda or other alternate icq clients, try to use secure login or
secure connection. It works for my QIP client

I left my computer on all night and didn't disconnect from ICQ (via Trillian) and have remained online. Which leads me to believe it's a problem with their authentication servers.

really glad its not just me

ahh good call! I'm sure thats it.

with trillan work normal for me

Fixed now.

has same problem with miranda client

seems fine now

I had the same problem, but now it's working again :)

Crap, I can't get mine to work again ....this sucks big time. Fortunately I have most of my contacts backed up, but this still sucks.

i'm sure yours will start working soon
