    Could you try deleting the preferences folder? Sometimes Spore bugs out, especially if you load Spore too many times with too many login requests.

    You can find the preferences folder by default here: C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Spore

    Note that 'AppData' is a hidden folder in Windows. You can either find a way to enable hidden files and folders or press the 'windows key +  r' this will open the run box. Then you type '%appdata%' without the quotations.

    Once that file is deleted, load Spore up again and attempt to login.

    Did you register an account in Spore? If so, you must have a screenname attached to it when you registered, do you remember it?

    If so, you can try adding your screenname at the end of your e-mail. The reason this works is because you can have up to five screennames (also known as personas on each account).

    For example: myemail @ email.com:Sharples65

    Then type your password is the password box as you usually would.

    If you create more than one screenname, be sure to try other ones.
