    PM andrekm over the forums about transfeing your account info onto a different account. He might be willing to do it, or might not.

    I suggest you make a "ban request" and change your password on your MC account.

    A tip for the future: Never give your password out to anyone, not even those you most trust. If for some reason they need to use your account, be sure to change your password immediately after they're done. (Might want to even change it before doing so if it's similar to other passwords you might use: I.E, the password to your forum account here, or an e-mail.) You never know what even some of the most trustworthy people might do with it. It's reasons like these that I'm very careful about the information I give out online. My gender, age, and state is already a lot, thus why I'm giving out only a very little bit more on rare occasions, even to the people I know best. Nobody knows my password, and I don't plan on ever telling anyone it.

    Personally, since I haven't had my account hacked or stolen before, I don't actually know what to do in that situation. When it's all resolved, though, there is what I said above.
