Note: This will not work 99.9% of the time, so that’s why you need patience. But I have gotten a number of different accounts through using this method, so I figured it would help to share. If this has already been posted before, I apologize! This involves stealing an account by stealing the email.

Step One:

Open up the Windows Live Hotmail sign up page in one tab, and the Neopets login page in another. On the Neo page, scroll down until you see “Forgotten your username?” and it will provide an option to put in an email to send the account information to. Now, this is what we’re going to rely on. Some mail providers, Hotmail being the only one I know of, purges email accounts when they have not been accessed in a long period of time, so they are creatable again, and that same email will still be attached to the Neo Account.

Step Two:

Trial and error time. Put in random emails into the “forgotten your username?” box. I usually do something like “neopets_brenda” “neobrenda” “neopetsbrenda” “neo_brenda”, etc. variants of that with random names. I also try pet names, so something like “maraquankrawk” “maraquan_krawk” etc. @hotmail.com

You will either get an error like this: Error: We were unable to find an account registered to that email address. Or you will get a page that says that the username and password have been sent to that email. Cross your fingers. You’re 1/3rd of the way there.

Step Three:

Go back to the signup page for Hotmail and put in the email address that is connected to the Neopets account. If it’s not available, then you’ll have to go back to the beginning and try again. If it is available, fill out all of the information required to sign up, sign up, go to your inbox, and go to the Neo screen to send the username and password information again. This time it’ll send and within a few minutes you should have the “Neopets Lost Password” email at the top of your inbox.

Then, of course, you have to hope that the account is somewhat recent so that it does not require a birthday. Or that the password is the birthday, of course.

Like I said, this is a long, tiring, frustrating, laborious proccess and 99.9% of the time you’re going to end up not being able to find an open email or getting an account that requires the birthday if you do get an account; but you may get lucky. I have personally accquired around 20 accounts through this method, and have been using this method for a year now. So it does require patience! This was posted offsite, I’ve tried it and it DOES work! Goodluck!
