AOL Password recovery

I changed my password a couple of weeks ago. Problem is I have now forgotten this. I am not on AOL broadband just the webmail. Problem is, I changed the screen name too! When I type screen name and click forgot password link, this takes me to the page where I have to type the little code thing. Do all this and tells me link has been sent but I think it is being sent to my actual AOL account - so am unable to reset password. Does anyone recommend those password recovery download things?

Thanks in advance

    Those password programs at best only restore the passwords found on your PC and not of other peoples server.

    You might be lucky and have your password cached in firefox, but hou must have selected to save it there, just look in Tools, Options, Security, Saved Passwords, show passwords.

    Other than that you will have to contact your ISP
    GOOGLE it before you ask, you'll often save yourself a lot of time. ;)
