Thanks, I've just got through with successfully changing my password before
I got your message.
The problem was this-
[01:42:38] -NickServ- This nickname is owned by someone else. Please
choose another.
[01:42:38] -NickServ- If this is your nickname, please use
/NickServ IDENTIFY <password>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you're supposed to /msg nickserv, then why didn't it say so!
(The reason I needed to use this command is because some swine had
registered my nick, and then used the GHOST command to kill me off!
Anyway, a friend of his who was in on the joke told me the password, so it's
now changed, & I put on the 60 seconds to type in password thingy as well,
just for good measure.)
