I have my number (3472719222) blocked on Pidgin, the problem is I don't
remember either passwords or username. Could you unblock it for me?


Pidgin is not responsible for blocking the number.  It is your service 
provider that is blocking it (presumably the IM service provider).  You 
need to contact them.

Nobody on this public mailing list has access to them.  Only your IM 
service provider might have access to them, although it is possible that 
they scramble the password such that all they could do is allocate a new 
password.


Pidgin is a program that can access many different IM services.  It 
doesn't provide the actual services, which pare provided by people like 
Google, AOL and many employers.  We have no idea who is providing your 
service, and even if we did, we have less power to make them do what you 
want done that you have yourself.  In fact we probably have no power to 
do so.

2015-05-17 Thread paolo p
If I messed up blocking the number, the provider can't help me. How can I
access Pidgin to manually unblock it? I just need to log in to Pidgin and
unblock the number. However, I don't remember the  password and username I
used. Is there a way to retrieve them?

There is no list of blocked numbers within Pidgin.  No password is 
needed to access Pidgin.  Any list of blocked numbers will be held by 
your instant messaging provider.  Any password will be checked by your 
instant messaging provider, not by Pidgin (and a good provider will 
store the password in a way in which it takes excessively long to work 
out the original password.


People here have absolutely no access to either.

(Would someone else like to try to explain this, as I seem to be going 
round in circles.)
