Second Step: Finding information on the username
1. Go to [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
2. Click on username, and search the username that you are trying to find information on.
3. Look through web document's, and personal profile's. If you see ANYTHING that has runescape related to your username, you've hit the jackpot.
4. Use that information that you've found, for your recovery. If it sais where that person live's, then google that location, for a zipcode. Keep all this information handy, when recovering the account.

2. Go to account management, and click recover lost password.
3. Put your username that your trying to recover in, and in the second screen, put recover manually.

Fourth Step: Recovery Questions
1. If the recovery question's are the default recoverie's, with no question's, then just tick the box "I have not set any recoveries".
2. IF their are recoverie's, answer them to your best ability if possible. If they ask, Where do you live? You can most likely get this from the research you did on [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . If it ask's favorite color, take a guess. And, if it ask's favorite vacation, put Florida. This is the most standard favorite vacation, if the person live's in the USA. For questions you have no idea for, put " Iforgotit ".

Fifth Step: Membership Details
1. This is easy, just put paypal, around january-may 2002, and 1month recurring.
2. The reason for this, is because paypal came out in late 2001, early 2002, and it was very popular for online purchases.
//////////////////////////////////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Sixth Step: Previous Passwords
1. Previous password's has got to be the hardest, yet most important part. For the first password, if you had found out either the player's last name, or where he live's, put that in the first password.
2. For the second password, put either killer,qwerty1234,123456,or password.
3. For the last password, put, iforgotit

Seventh Step: Contact Details
1. If you managed to find the zipcode of the player, from using [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] and searching his location via [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] , then put the player's zipcode in this box.
2. If you DIDN'T manage to find the zipcode, then just put 10259.
3. For the email address, ONLY fill this out if you found his email via [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] , if you aren't for sure that you found his email address, do not fill this box out. It's not that important.

Ninth Step: Creation Details
1. This is one of the MOST important aspect's of the recovery.
2. Usually, if the player does not show up on highscore's, then that mean's he was just a runescape classic player. If this is the case, put any month between April-December, year 2001.
3. If you got the name from a 2002 highscore's, then put October-December, 2001.

1. Their is many different thing's you can say for extra information, below are some example's, from most effective to least effective.
