Problem Summary: Accidently set age as 10 years old.......... im 23!

OK! I REALLY DON'T WANT TO REFORMAT MY PARTITION FOR THIS!
i am 23 years old and because i entered in the wrong year on one of your videos it took my static IP and saved it permanatly under your server that im 10 years old!!!! of course this greatly upset me when i tried to play the video. of course i went back and tried to replay the video. of course i restarted the computer. but there are two things i will not do which is reset my static IP or reformat my partition, and i dont want to hack into your system. i would really appreciate it if you guys simply changed the permissions on the server with my IP, or atleast set my age to 23, that is if you used the right programming language on your server to save my IP (hopefully you didnt use visual basic). if you cant do that, first i would like you to contact me at my email, and second i would like you to get a better programming language (try java or alice).

Problem was successfully solved. Ticket was closed.
