If anybody would be able to free his computer as he wants, it would defeat the purpose of the function, and it would be smurf party.

That's the whole problem : how do I know that it's really your computer ? If you have a better idea.. (I can maybe link it to a steam account and check for FA in it, but it would not please everybody either

so in order to free up a machine1 , I need the previous account that logged into machine1 to log into another machine(2), that will free up machine1 but then lock machine2..
so you can paint yourself into a corner if not carefull.. and for instance a family member can Lock MY computer to their username because they were the first to install and use FAF (using my computer), so you have to get them to go ahead and sign in on a different machine so I can use MY computer, and get my Own Faf account.

this seems harder than it needs to be. you've accomplished a great thing with FAF, but this account thing could be much better.
I believe possession should be 9 10ths of the law, if I am in possession of My computer, I should be able to free my computer.

You are mistaken. Once a login is used on a computer, any other computer using it is free.

Is there anyway you can create a switch username button on the FAF login screen,
that clears the unique ID for the machine in use, but you can put a limit on the use, say once per 30 min, or what ever you feel is comfortable,
I just got back from a trip to visit family, my girlfriend and I learned to use FAforver and play online, so when I got home I installed FAF on my home machine,
and wanted to let my girlfriend use my laptop, but now both machines are stuck with Unkajah as the username, and we cant change it.

just give the users the ability to switch user accounts on a machine, just not often enough for anyone to exploit it.

Thanks.

I've found way more accounts than that. All are deleted.

Re-create a new account and stick to it.

Account Optimus_PR on my machine is still not working? As I said in my post, I have reset my password already.... I reset it again... this does nothing... I think that the machine ID is possibly locked to another account that I created and then locked out? Is there some way that my machine can be cleaned from your system so I can use Optimus_PR on it?
The other possible user accounts I am NOT intending to use are Optimus, Darkstar and Darkstar995.

Or the login dialog of FAF, "forgot username or password"

Help... I need the account Optimus_PR reset... it is giving the Unique ID error. I forgot my password... so I created another account. That account didn't work because of the Unique ID error... so without understanding I created another account... I know... stupid... after researching... I see that was not the answer.

So can I just get Optimus_PR working? I have reset my password.

This was the first account I created.... so I don't really understand why it would be affected.
Thanks,
Optimus_PR

Your real and main account is : LordZ06

You can reinstall as many time as you want, but until you use that account, it won't work

Only one account is allowed per PC.
You're going to need an admin to clear your UniqueID from the DB.
