If you used a valid email address when you signed up, create another name and use ?lostpassword and your password will be sent to that email you used.

According to what ect0pl4smX is saying, making note that he never mentioned whether he has played Subspace before or not, forces us to assume that ect0pl4smX is a brand new player to Continuum/Subspace. Thus, here goes the timeline of events:

 

1. Infected with virus

2. Downloaded and installed Continuum

3. Tried to join a zone under chosen profile

 

Based on all this information, ect0pl4smX, the name you are trying to join with is already registered by another player. You need to find a name that has not yet been registered.

 

I think most people here will quickly misunderstand ect0pl4smX's post and think that the virus ect0pl4smX was infected with hijacked his Continuum account; this cannot be the case unless ect0pl4smX is trying to login under a name he previously registered (but there is no mention of any kind regarding whether this is his first time).

 

EDIT: Though of course, if you are not a new player ect0pl4smX, then read what rootbear75 said.

bolded part makes me think he lost it.

 

and the actual wording of that dialog box is:

 

Invalid password for the specified user. The name you entered may already be in use by another player, in which case you should try another name. Otherwise, check your password. You may have made a mistake entering it.

There's always contacting one of the BanG Ops or w/e, BlueGoku got me 2 of my old usernames back. I think it was BlueGoku...

He got it back. He used the ?lostpassword and got a new password sent to his email.

Yeah..but thats the problem...i pretty much JUST lost it again...the email said it was goin to last 24 hours if it didnt use the ?password command, and i did use that command, im starting to wonder if there is a glitch with ?password command...

[Samapico]

just ?lostpassword it again and use the ?password command properly It should give you a confirmation (I assume) after you do it.

 

That is, unless they have some kind of lock on the lostpassword command that you can't make it too often or something...

[ect0pl4smX]

oh my god....you guys dont understand...assume i go on a different account and i type in ?lostpassword ect0pl4smX...then i go on ect0pl4smX with the new password and i type in ?password whatever...but a day later the password wont work anymore

1) Log on to an alternate name

2) Type ?lostpassword ect0pl4smX

3) Go into your email and copy the password

4) Open Continuum and click on Profiles

5) Change the Password to the one provided

6) Press OK

7) Login on ect0pl4smX

Type ?password=YourNewPasswordHere

9) Logout

10) Go back to Profiles

11) Enter the new password you changed it to, into the Password text field.

 

The game's client does not automatically update your password in Profiles when you change your password via ?password=
