Locked out of FAF on desktop, but not laptop?

Postby Mango » 11 Feb 2012, 08:16

Last weekend a friend came over and I installed FAF on both my desktop and laptop. We created accounts and played a few games with me on my laptop and my friend on my desktop. Great fun!

The problem is...

Now I can only login on my laptop - I can't login or create a new account to play on my desktop. This isn't the end of the world but it would be nice to play on a 27-inch screen rather than a laptop screen.

It gets more interesting...

Now my friend wants to login from his own home computer and is just installing his copy of Forged Alliance now.

My questions are:
I don't know my friends username and password. Will it be possible to play FAF on my desktop computer again with my own login? Do I need to get my friends password and take over his gamer gamer-tag to use my desktop computer for FAF?

and...

Will he be able to use his existing account on his home computer or must he create a new account?

Only one thing is NOT allowed : 2 or more accounts on the same computer.

So make your friend connect to his account on his own computer. He will be able to, no problems.
If he doesn't remember his password, there is a password retrieval link on the homepage.
That will free yours, and will be be able to log in with any account on it.

If he create a new account on his computer, you are screwed. Send me a PM with all these login so I will free the unique Id manually.
