To this day, I still remember my ICQ number from back in the nineties. However, unfortunately the same doesn't apply to the password and I can't seem to be able to reset it.

I either didn't have mine linked to a recovery email or lost access to that email account. Tried to get back into the account somewhere in the aughts but no longer knew the password, and thus was out of luck. But then I discovered some years later that someone else had taken it over, as it was associated with some Russian thing. Oh well.
I did have someone try to take it over about a decade ago, but the email it was linked to was still active, so GL!
Apparently, a 6digit address is worth about $50 on Ebay, or was the last time I checked.
