i had an icq-account with the 3.1.5 kopete deb-package. the 3.2 package fucked 
it up and now my icq-account is gone.

the website seems badly broken. they want to know the email-address i 
registered with, but i can't remember. so i tried each and every one of them. 
but the site keeps telling about an error that occured:

[quote]
Some possible reasons this happened include the following: 
A System Error has occurred. Please go back and try again.
 
The data you've entered is incorrect. Please go back and check your details.
 
The email address is not the same as the one you originally entered. Please go 
back and try again.

so, the website does not tell about the exact error that occured and it does 
not tell about the email-address i registered with. further help on the 
website tells about looking at the icq-account details for the email-address, 
but i didn't entered it. i have the slight feeling that only icq-clients on 
icq-operating systems are well supported and that icq does not want me to get 
my password back.

is there a way to decrypt the password in kopeterc? i think, the encryption is 
a obsolete feature anyway.
