How do I build a new account on old version of iChat?

If there's a tutorial for this somewhere, just point me. Otherwise ...
We have Macs at worrk (Mac OS X 10.4.11) and I have Windows XP at home (long story). My editor wants us to be able to talk to iChat ()version 3.1.9 (v446) instant messenger framework 4.29) users at work if we're at home. I found software to do that via AIM. I was under the impression that I had to have the same username and password on my software here that I use at work if I want to connect to the office iChat network.
I opened Preferences>Accounts in iChat at work and got my username. But, it was set up years abo by a previous IT guy who didn't record the password. So I deleted the account to start over from scratch. Used the + symbol to add a new account, entered the new username and password. Then I tried logging in. It kept saying I was using the wrong password. I was very careful entering that password when I built the account, so I don't see what the problem is?
Help?

Hi,
iChat 3.x will at least Text chat with any version of AIM (5.5 through to the current 7.whatever) or from AIM Express (Web Browser login) or Trillian using an AIM Screen Name.
Registering a new AIM Screen Name will keep you to the Password's 16 character max length automatically.
Providing there are no typos there should not be a problem.
Checks (Will also be usefult to find the Old Account's Password.)
Old User Tip (The "First Steps part have links that do not work.) Use the Next Step section for checking the Keychain, after doing the paragraph below first.
To Check On line as it were either try Logging in here at the top right of the page.
Or Launch AIM express in a web Browser and make sure the Name works.
Once you have found that the name works or does not work then you can procede with checking the Keychain.
Once you have recovered the Password(s) there (Or edited any correction) you should be able to get Chat to Work (At Work).

How do I create a new account and get stuff from the old account to the new account

How do I create a new account and get stuff from the old account to the new account

There are instructions on this page for creating a new account : Set up an Apple ID in iTunes
Or if you don't want to give credit card details : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method
But you won't be able to transfer purchases from your old account to it, all content that you download from the store will remain tied to the account that downloaded it.

How do I use a new account to download a new trial???

The account plays no role in downloading a trial. Just download the trial. If you mean you are trying to download a second copy of a trial on the same system that you previously ran the trial on then that will not work - one trial per system is the limit.

thanks in advance

In the Composing pane of Mail's preferences window, look for the pop-up menu labeled "Send new messages from." Select the desired account there.
Note, though, that this won't change the behavior when replying to a message... in that case, the reply will be sent from the account that received the message, unless you specify differently at that time.

You don't. Registration is a one time thing that you do the first time you install an application. Once registered it does not need to be done again.
You should see if yoiu can have the activations reset before you try installing on a new machine so that you still have the two activations that are available to you. If not, you should still have an activation available for use with the new installation.
To reset activations contact Adobe Support and ask them to reset your activations.... For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...
Serial number and activation chat support (non-CC)

To get it working on the new machine you just install and activate using the serial number you should already have.
