It really started to annoy me how if you forgot which birthdate you gave neopets..you may lose your account after not logging in for a while.

This happened to my account a while back, and I was able to type in over 300 possible birthdates and I finally found it and I was back into my account.

A friend of mine told me that he forgot which birthdate he gave to neopets and he can't log in anymore, so I (with my newly found neopets programming knowledge!) tried to make a program that brute forces all the birthdates possible...

...and then I realized that they placed a stupid limit on the birthdate attempts now sad.gif Is there anyway around this? What if we use a different proxy...will you still be banned from making more attempts?

    Is this the same for the number of password attempts?

    Just save it on your harddrive/cd/email it to yourself. I have a notepad called "Future Reference" with the activation code, password, name, email, birthday and email's password to all my accounts
