ichat aim login trouble

I've an AIM ichat account for the last 2 years that opened automatically in my powerbook. I now switched to a MacBook and when I tried to log in, it tells me user or pass are incorrect. When I hit forgot password, it sends an email to the email on the account, which is my previous job, so I CANNOT login my account. I want to connect with the people I had there, so I don't want to create a new account. Any tips please????
Thanks!
 
Sounds like you are typing the user and pass incorrectly:

  1. Have your previous employer fwd your email to your new account. (they may have terminated the account)
  2. Change your AIM account info (new email and pass) by following the security questions (if possible)
  3. Find the correct info that was in the KEYCHAIN on your old PowerBook. (if you still have it) Go to: Finder>Applications>Utilities> Keychain Access.App
Adium is a good IM application to use for chat.

Best.
 
Dear Caribbean,
Thanks for the response. Unfortunately number 1 and 3 are not an option. If you have an idea of how to do number 2 or a 4th option you can think of, please shoot! When I try number 2, there are no security questions or anything, all I can get is the password sent to the old email.
thanks again
