I added a new user last night and when i tried to log on this morning under my username and password, it wouldnt take it and i had to log on under my new username. Now all of my documents are under the other name and I it wont take my old username or password. I also tried to make a new thread and for some reason I cant make a new one. I couldnt have been banned because I didnt do anything. I think its because I cant get to my main username. Does anyone know what has happened and how can I get back into my main username without wiping my harddrive clean and starting over.
