Adventures in domain forwarding

SecurityGuy: I want our website's hostname to point to the IP of that page that PeelotRUs made for us.
Koodiorjatyttö: Go ahead then, contact your registrar.
SecurityGuy: You do it.
Koodiorjatyttö: All right, give me the username and the password.
SecurityGuy: What username? What password?
Koodiorjatyttö: The ones you have used when you registered your domain.
SecurityGuy: Can't you do it without them? I have no idea. Can't you do domain forwarding at my ISP?
Koodiorjatyttö: They only do the domain forwarding for the domains you have registered with them. The one you want me to change is registered with DomainsForDummies and you need to give me the username and the password of your account there if you want me to deal with them. Call me back when you find them. Bye now.


A while later:

SecurityGuy: I figured that having a username and a password would make your job a lot easier. Here they are.

I go to the DomainsForDummies page, log in, and notice that this particular account deals with a completely different domain, which also belongs to SecurityCompany.

Koodiorjatyttö: You gave me the wrong username and password. You seem to have another account with these guys, too.
SecurityGuy: Try ******* for password.
Koodiorjatyttö: What's the username?
SecurityGuy: I have no idea. Rautaorjapoika!
Rautaorjapoika: What?
SecurityGuy: What's our username and password for the registrar of this domain?
Rautaorjapoika: I have no clue.
SecurityGuy: But you registered it!
Rautaorjapoika: That was long ago.
SecurityGuy: You better find it or else you'll have to call them.

(sounds of SecurityGuy and Rautaorjapoika swearing)

I ordered the registrar to send the username and password to the account of the administrative contact, who is SecurityGuy. Now if I only manage to get him to resend this to me I just might get it done...
