Have you tried emailing them?

Also, it will be worth the cost of a phone call!

On any count - it is not really godaddy's fault ;)

There's a link if you have forgotten your password and there is a process in place to retrieve/reset it.

They can spam me with their stupid advertising, but they cant send me the password for my account to the same email.

Email support, explain the situation. Oh and don't use the f-word too much or they won't give you a second chance :D

Unfortunately 4 days is not enough time to transfer it over to another registrar.

Next time before you slam a provider due to your own incompetence attempt to use their support system.

Then create a new one.

Then transfer from your old account, how? with the domain name.

Losing your password and login name is not GoDaddy's fault. I believe they are just protecting your domain names and their reputation. If they were to freely give access to anyone to lay claims to the domain names, it would be chaos because at which time, it would be easy to hijack and mess up sites.

Explain to them and if they need proof of identity, do send it to them.

Or they should have a system like NetSol! I lost a password, just called them up... they gave me my password on the phone itself! lol... one day I'll ask for passwords of big names including "networksolutions.com" and "netsol.com" ;)

Perhaps they transferred ownership of sex.com that easily

:D

I had the same problem... I tryed the reset pass and userid ... no go ..

Finally I called them ... it was a simple matter of providing credit card and home address info ..

2 minutes later I re-registered the account.

Yup.. exact same thing happened to me, called, in, gave last few digits of CC, and they send password & account id to your e-mail.
