aol techs - 

can anyone point me to the right place to get a AOL Instant Messenger
password fixed ?

I have a Mac running 8.6, using AIM v2.0N.  After the upgrade to OS8.6,
I apparently
either lost my preferences for AIM, and/or installed a new copy - in any
case, I'm 
at a loss to come up with the password.  AIM says that you can request a password
change from AOL, but their webpage says otherwise.  If AOL won't/can't
help, does
anyone know how to "break" in so I can fix it ?  I could always just
sign up again
with a new screen name, but that's a real hassle as others already have
my old,
existing screen name in their buddy list...

  Thanks for any help an/or direction....

        John
