I can't remember my mse password and have locked myself out of my account on my other computer. 
The e-mail address is way out of date and is what I was trying to change.
Any ideas how I can find it out?

Erm, I think you're stuck if you don't have access to the email address that's currently registered, as it wont let you change the email address without inputting your password
If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

Actually, there is one thing you could try, to at least be able to get you logged in on the other computer. The machine you're on now, I presume it's set to auto login?If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

This one is. The other was until I run CCleaner. I have just tried a system restore but it doesn't have an earlier restore point. £2 Coins Savings Club 2012 is £4.............................NCFC member No: 00005.........

Right, you could try this, it might not work, but I have used it before on, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't:
Find the cookie that's set on the machine you can login on, it should be something like cookie:<name>@forums.moneysavingexpert and will be in your temporary internet files if you are using Internet explorer (Open IE, go to tools>internet options>browsing history settings>view files)
Copy this cookie onto a usb stick or something, pop it into the other machine and copy it to the same location as stated above.
Then open MSE and click on the forum (fingers crossed, you'll be in)
That's the only way I can really think of...If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands
