Ok, I a newbie, and an idiot, ok? Now I've said it, so please spare me the flame lectures and tell me how to fix this -- or if I can.
I was looking for a group, and a character named Colossus came on and told me to type something: password cheatcode4. When I did this, I got the message "OK." And then I got thrown off CF and could not log back on, because it says "wrong password." Obviously, this is some sort of scam, and I fell for it, but how do I fix it?
