Now that lost passwords were mentioned, I have been unable to reach ICQ for the last few YEARS regarding the password to my ICQ account. I had probably registered it from an academic address that stopped working and they are now unable to help me. I didn't want to get a new number, as the number I had was pretty nice and short, not like 9494859495 after its popularity shot up!

Any ideas? I mean, I have disowned them ages ago, but if there's a way to get back my account...?
