first time user needs help logging in

Ok, thinking I'm an experienced internet user and settying HL up should be easy, I just did NOT read the manual first. Maybe that's where things started going wrong hehe.

Here's what happened:

I installed HL, and tried logging in using some random name/pw combo, because I didn't really know how it worked.

Ofcourse HL prompts me that the username/pw is incorrect, so I figured I needed an account. So, I registered at this website, figuring that would do it. Activated my account, and tried logging in HL again. But still:

* Wrong username or password...

How to straighten the mess I've probably created?

Thanks!

when logging into hyperlobby, all you need to do is choose name, then password and email.If you cannot log into lobby with your chosen name then that would that the name you are trying to log in with is already taken

so... the name I have chosen here on the forum has nothing to do with the HL name?

Hello Fluke.....
I know how you feel...i just went through the same thing...wrong username and password...again and again and again i tried ...then i finally tried a username and password and then got into HL.
I to posted a few questions in here and got quick and helpful advice and direction...just trying to pass it on... Smile

Keep trying to pick out a callsign and password...that allows you to log in .Good Luck ..May All Your Shots Be True......

The Manual is a good place to start...

Tried another name and it worked flawlessly. Even joined a game (and got totally overwhelmed haha). Just too bad I can't use Fluke as a name. Thanks for the help guys!
