I guess as the wiseman says..........your foooked. I nearly forgot my password the other day. Thought "sod it" and looked on serial sites but couldnt find one. Maybe you will have better luck than me? other option is to buy a 2nd hand copy from gamestation (for a bout £10) and hope the previous owner hasnt gone online (registered it). If this is what your mate has done, just take it back and if its within the "takeback" period swap it and play pot luck with another copy.
