Yeah already tried it, still same problem. Ended up just changing the password to asdfasdfasdf so it's not similar to anything. I just gave up and made a new screen name.. If only i can get on that old sn to retrieve the buddylist but oh well. I went through the buddylist on lifestream and only ended up adding the people I talk to so my buddylist went from about 200 to 40. Much neater now.
